when does the first group of Compass CAs begin class at main-line? If the date isn't definite, what is at least the projected start date?

and I know this is a repetitive post, but how many Compass CAs from that point on will be leaving per month, ~20?

appreciate it, gentlemen

Projected to be Dec, Jan, or Feb and continuing at 20 per month until 25% of the list, currently projected at 115, flows.

Thanks, Jim or mynameisJim... whichever you prefer :D

From what I understand, those figures are based on a 12 month period, beginning from the first class. So we are potentially looking at a 200+ flow in 18 months. Yes?

Appreciate the response, enjoy your week

Yes it will be 230ish flows in 18 months.

That means that someone who is a senior FO now will be in the top 1% in 18-24 months and someone hired today will be either a junior CA or very senior FO depending on how ppl bid. I think many non eligible flow pilots will be leaving for spirit/ allegiant/ VA ETC. as they also lose pilots to the recovering legacies.

That is exactly what the flow means for current Compass Pilots and future new-hires.

Did Compass drop the 500 multi requirment..? I hear guys have been getting interviews lately without it. Are they putting them in a pool until they get 500 hours multi?

Any military guys getting interviews? Anybody that flies the pointy lawn dart type jets. Just curious, have an ATP and meet the mins. Was hoping to get a call.

I can't speak for recently, but there are two nasal radiators of the pointy nosed variety here that I know of. There are also a couple of Guard Viper guys as well. Plenty of Helo and Heavy drivers as well.

Not sure about mil pilots w/o 121 time. A bunch of capts/fo's have been getting calls for interviews in the past few days though.

Yes, check your PMs.

I was hired a while back, when hiring was at a slow trickle. I didn't have my ATP, had no 121 time and barely met the 1500 hour mins, so I encourage and mil guy to throw their stuff in.

O really? Movementtttttttt

A bunch of capts/fo's getting calls to interview at Compass or Compass guys getting interviews at other airlines?

Interview at Compass. Majority of Compass pilots are flow through eligible at Delta.

Whats is take to get an interview at Compass? I've had an application on file via airlineapps for many months. Do I need to attend a job fair to get noticed?

I've got 4000+ TT and more than 1000 TPIC. All T-Prop time, no jet or FMS

I can't get called either. Been flying an RJ for 5 years. I hear of many others getting interviews. Does anyone have an HR email contact?

Wow, here I was feeling bad that I haven't gotten a call yet with my 1600TT! I guess I shouldn't hold my breath considering you guys have MUCH more experience and have yet to hear from them.

There's plenty of people being called arlund 1500-1600TT, know of a few actually but they have been flying 121 for the past 2 years... To the other guys I'm not sure why you wouldn't be called.

Over 1500 applications from qualified pilots in the past 3 months. It's pretty competitive right now.

That would do it

I probably missed the rush.

1500 applications, sounds like a real pilot shortage!

I'm not sure if this applies to Compass or not, but I've been told when using airline apps update as often as possible. I was told this pushes your app to the "top of the pile". Like I said I don't know how true that is but I can't imagine it would hurt. That and get an internal rec. I tried getting in without one and was turned down. Got a few recs and got an interview. Again not saying this is the end all be all. Just doesn't hurt.

That is just everyone that has filled out the Compass amendment on Airline Apps? Would it help to get a call by lowering the minimum salary requirement from 45K to 25K?

Anyone interviewing next week? PM me.

You will not get a call if you are asking for a minimum of 45K as a salary requirement. I would imagine that recruitment would get a good laugh by that request on your app.

If you are hired at Compass you will be paid $25 per flight hour with a 75 guarantee. You will be responsible for your own lodging during training and will have to sign a 1 year training contract.

As long as there is any regional that will start you out at $25/hr and make you pay for lodging during training.....the pilot shortage is not here.

^^^This.

Updating your app regularly shows that you are still interested, therefore keeping you at the "top of the stack".

Hahaha thanks for my Friday laugh

I put 60k on mine and was hired. They asked me about it in my interview and I told them that I didn't want them to think I was cheap. They laughed and sent me to get my picture taken. Maybe everyone should grow a pair and actually ask for what they want instead of just conforming to the others.

Asking for what you want then accepting for less than half of what you asked for does not constitute "growing a pair". You can pat yourself on the shoulder for getting a laugh from the interviewers

Double post... how do I delete? Now I can laugh at myself on this wonderful Friday

When does health insurance kick in for new hires at Compass?

I was saying you don't need to do what everyone else does . Of course i knew what the pay would be. The box was labeled (at the time) 'desired pay'. I was honest. I'm glad you have a sense of humor, but what everyone needs to do is say what you want when asked. Pm me your name and I'll put a book you should read on your v file.

I think it is the first of the month following 30 days from your hire date.

Example. Start date of March 10. Insurance on May 1.

Got it, thanks

Chances are you already had a rapport with them when you started cracking jokes.

If your interview is going poorly and they don't dig your style, try cracking jokes and you can find out just how poorly an interview can go.

I wasn't joking. I didn't think that this was so difficult to understand. I answered their question honestly about my application, and they thought it was funny. Do you think that they actually thought I 'desired' to be paid 25k? That would be dishonest to me. If they had asked me what I 'expected' to be paid then I would have answered what I already knew my pay would be. Try being dishonest in an interview and see how poor your interview can go. I guess I see it differently than all of you? Good luck to all that apply...sometimes it's good to stand out.

Well I hope your honesty landed you the job. Anyways I guess I really didn't think to deeply into the wording of the question. Desired pay and expected pay are completely different numbers of course. Anyone expecting to make 60K on first year regional FO pay then of course should deserve a laugh at.
