Without reading all 4000+ posts, I suspect that my questions have been addressed at some point, but if someone could briefly humor me with some insight on a couple questions, I would be much appreciative...
- Is Compass not hiring pilots with restricted ATP qualifications? The Compass hiring page says the following: "In possession of, or eligible to hold, an unrestricted US multi-engine ATP certificate."
I'm building time quickly towards ATP mins, however I don't expect to reach the 500 hours of cross country for the unrestricted ATP. 200+ hrs cross country for the restricted will be no problem for me.
- Skimming through the last few pages, I'm not sure if I've read comments correctly, but is LAX going to be a junior/easily attainable base for new hires? I live in PHX and would love to be close to home if Compass were in the cards for me.
Thanks for the replies.

Huh, APD said he sent someone home last week so he could get his 1500 to get his PIC type/ATP...he could have been close and just wanted him to get unrestricted, but he said he hasn't had anybody with less than 1500 come through...maybe you can get hired but they expect you to have 1500 before LOE???

In my case, the 1500 total time won't be an issue, but the 500 cross country will be. You can get a restricted ATP with 1500 TT and 200 cross country, which will be my case. That is where my question of if that would be acceptable comes from.
I'll have around 2000tt with about 300 cross country when I finish my commitment to my current employer.

Would anyone recommend/ not recommend just calling compass at the number in the profiles area and ask if they were looking for pilots? Or is that pushing it? Have an unrestricted ATP. enough multi etc. Or just keep holding out to see if they pick it up at AirApps?
Thank you
Thank you

I'd call. My buddy called and they pulled his app right then and he had an interview date within 10 minutes.

Calling is bush league. Don't do that. Use recommendations, job fairs etc.
