What's a guy have to do to get noticed by Compass? I have received invites by just about everyone else but honestly, just interested in Compass since I live on the W. Coast. And, isn't QOL what we all say is the priority? I'm 1 1/2 from LAX and could sit on reserve until whenever if I had to until my turn. And I notice that candidates with both less and more experience are getting picked up. Without beating up an old man too bad, what's the secret? Thanks in advance.

I can't pinpoint a good spot now to leave scratch paper for taxi clearances, route amendments, holding instructions etc.

2) do you have a 4 year degree?
3) Is your criminal history clear over the past 10 years?
4) is all your info up to date on your application? Such as a your medical, passport, etc all having the correct date and year input on file. You would be surprised how many people have the wrong year listed.
A problem with number 3 or 4 could easily disqualify you.
Having a check ride failure or no degree by itself will not disqualify you, however both will.
