I offer a room to rent 4 miles from the training center. Filled up til Feb 5th at the moment, but I have availability after then. Any new hires can PM me if they'd like more info.

Same here, except I interviewed a month ago. An email? I guess a letter is too much to ask for. Also, when are you allowed to re-apply if somone would actually want to? Most airlines it's a 6 month wait.

I can't believe they are taking that long to get back to you. Thats not very professional. Does anyone know if all the spring classes are filled yet? I keep getting questions sent to me and I have no idea where they are at with hiring.

New Hire Update.

7 new hires to DTW
5 new hires to MSP

There were 5 or more FOs that transfered from dtw and mem to msp, this has been the trend for the last few bids, so if I were a newhire I would expect to spend atleast a couple months in dtw or mem before you can hold msp, if that's where you want to be (this is what happened to me). Reserve numbers have been increasing and decreasing in each domicile month to month, so there will continue to be pilots in the bottom 20% chasing lines.

any new news for compass?

Hi can anyone answer this? If someone got hired today, how long would they sit reserve and how long before getting into delta mainline? thanks!

Hi!

I think the requirement is Capt and 3 years with Compass before elligibility to transfer to DAL, and then 20 per month, with a yearly cap of "XX" or "X%" per year to DAL. So, it will depend on how much hiring DAL does, and if you can upgrade to capt within 3 years.

Bottom line: Like everything else here on Earth, no one really knows, not even God, as he gave us Free Will.

The flow is a maximum of 25% of the list per year. So starting at the bottom, assuming that Delta started hiring immediately and hired continuously, you would not flow until your fourth year. You also have to be a Captain to flow (pretty much guaranteed if you're senior enough to flow, just gotta pass the upgrade), and you need to have flown for Compass for at least 30 months.

So basically, if you already have your turbine PIC, you'll get to Delta a lot quicker by staying at your current job and not coming to Compass. It's not a shortcut, the only thing you gain is not having to interview at DL, and that's a poor reason to subject yourself to this management team for 4+ years.

As far as reserve, it all depends on growth and attrition. Right now there's a little growth for increased aircraft utilization, but that will end in a few months, and there's zero attrition. If Delta were to hire and take 25% of our list this year, you'd find yourself off reserve pretty quickly. All depends....

I just spoke to Dianna, the pilot recruiter in MSP. She said, 40 more new hires for 2010, all in the first quarter of the year.
