they are complaining about how hard is to get applicants and at the same time they are failing pilots with 121 experience left and right.
25 check airmen are leaving Compass next week, even the guy who give us the company presentation is leaving...
I asked ..so if you are loosing 25 check airmen next week...what about training.....silence

Word is (or rather, rumor) there is no reserve pilots in LAX. So maybe the shortage of applicants will help with the shortage of checkairmen. But there is a good chance those waiting IOE will get delayed I think...

Thanks!
Thanks!
The interview is really not that hard... I mean, it "shouldnt be".
I thought it was a little challenging at the most. Honestly just one of most thorough of the ones Iv been through. Im glad it was thorough. It shows they take the hiring process and training seriously, and professionally. Had compass been a phone call interview and a job offer, or the 4 months republic played phone tag with me, I doubt I would have accepted. Coming from the corporate world(not just flying, but business jobs too), seeing the employers organization and professionalism first hand in the interview process is very much an insight to what you will see as an employee.
on another note....
I know this is a bit blunt... but if someone cant pass any of those computer tests, Im glad I wont be flying with them and glad they wont be responsible for me or any other passengers. So should you.
Got to weed em out somehow...

Haha, yeah... no they arent going to other regional as check airmen, haha. That wouldn't be a lateral move...

The test requires you to study and put time in. It isn't too much to ask if you really want the job.
