About as happy as one could be at 1st year FO pay at a regional. Yes, I think it's a great fit for me and I am happy here. I would say the pilot culture is great. The overall attitude is positive, upbeat and respectable. 95% of the pilot group has been kicked down hard at previous regionals (furloughed, dragged through bankruptcies, shutdowns, major concessions, etc) so we all "get it" and have been around the block. The corporate culture of Compass is great but now that TSH is infiltrating the ranks we're seeing changes in the wrong direction. Little things here and there that add up to be big things. But overall I say it's a great place to hang out until a major calls.

Word from the Big Cheese's mouth (and I mean BIG big cheese over here, which I heard with my own two FAA approved ears) is we will know the new domicile plans by September 2014. To me, this translates to "by the end of the year."
For AA: New York, Charlotte, or DFW
For DAL (in addition to LAX): SEA or SLC
Take it how you'd like but I had a personal conversation with the Head Honcho Brochondo.

To put the squeeze on regionals with good contracts.

There have been flat out contract violations and then they say "break the contract now and grieve it later...or we will see about doing an LOA at some point". Flat out disregarding hotel language, minimum/max credit line construction, blah blah blah. Recently the union has agreed to a few LOAs that came about because the company had flat out disregarded the contract to begin with.

Could someone describe the current process as far as indoc/training, and how long it typically takes to complete training once you have been offered ajob? Thanks in advance

For me I had 5 weeks after the interview until the one day orientation then home for 30 days. Upon return I had, week 1: indoc, week 2: 4 hours of systems, 2 hours of fms, and 2 hours of systems integration in a touch screen simulator, week 3: procedure trainer (touch screen devices running through flows and callouts), weeks 4-6 was sims, loft, and loe. Plan on 8 weeks probably, most classes going through when I was there had about 8 weeks but my class size being small helped us keep it short.

Pretty close 10 -12 weeks . I started 3/14/14 home study and finish check ride 6/30/14.
If anyone needs a room to rent while in MSP training, PM me for contact info. 3 miles from schoolhouse, quiet and a lot cheaper than hotel. I'm leaving so there's an opening.
