Thanks!

Do you get the full ATP and E170/175 Type Rating right out of training (in the sim)?

Well, more specifically the ERJ-170/ERJ-190 type. That's what my certificate says, anyway.

When you get to the Flight Traning Device and Sim portion of training they'll expect you to know your flows pretty well before you ever sit down. Training is a like drinking from a fire hose, especially if it's your first type rating or part 121 experience, save yourself a lot of stress by coming ready to rock.
Training material for memorization and learning is received when? Before the orientation or at the orientation? I only ask because my orientation is in about a week and I don't have any training material.

For someone that has been at Eagle for 7 years thinking of coming to Compass... 1) Can you expect to upgrade in 7-9 months?
2) What are junior bases both for new hires and for junior captains?
3) Are almost all FO's qualified for CA when their number comes up?
4) Any expansion, or continued attrition?
Thx.
