With a week's notice, do they actually expect everyone to walk out of their current job with less than 2 week's notice?
If they expect that the they realistically can't expect those employees to give them with week's notice when they leave CPZ.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but is not giving 2 week's no longer a big deal?
I'm absolutely not trying to stir the pot or put anyone down, I'm genuinely asking a question.

Whoa sorry to hear that, it mustve been pretty frustrating to be marinating in the pool for that long. I recently found out that I am #17 on the list so hopefully the call comes a little sooner than 14 months down the road. As for the three day notice, phew thats a good way to **** off your current employment. Thanks for the great insight everyone

If those opportunities involve going to any of the Mega regionals, I would strongly advice waiting it out for Compass. It would be foolish to place yourself at the bottom of a few thousand pilot seniority list vs a 550 pilot seniority list with massive amounts of movement and growth going on.

Patience, it will be worth it. It cannot be much longer.

In that case, then I would guess mid September is when you would start.
There still might even be a chance for them to run a class in August. To me, it does not make sense at all, to stop classes completely for a month, when you could use that time to take the pressure off having to train 40 pilots a month beginning this september. If they really do plan on doing 40 a month they will have to hire at least 20 more new check airmen and have them trained by mid october(takes a long time for CP to train check airmen, so maybe that is what they are using August for). All that is assuming they have the Sim availability to train 40 a month.
The company has not really communicated anything to us about their hiring or staffing plans. I'm not sure they even know yet. The longer we go, the further past we the 'too-late' point that we will be.
