I have a job interview offer from Compass And have been thinking about it. Wanted to know how senior or junior MSP is and would it remain a base in forseeable future? People are holding it out of training right now. It will remain a base and company says it will not shrink. And how easy is DC to MSP commute? Best website is Passrider Interline Travel Information ? Interline Travel and Pass Travel Information you can find all available commute options. Is it easy to get MSP based out of training? Yes, it's happening now. DTW is not a base any more if I am correct. Correct. LAX and SEA would be uncommutable! Again, check passrider, maybe more options than you think...but long for sure!

Also, what would be approx net pay during training? You get like 18.5 hours for the 2 week at-home CBT's, then you get 75 hours gurantee once you show up for ground school. Year one pay is $25 and some change. If you get sim's in DFW or STL, then you get per diem there as well. An Estimated guess? Including the CBT at home? Don't have my calculator handy...

Thank you.
GOOD LUCK. Training was GREAT! Also, they are now paying for housing during training so a huge help for sure.

Are the Compass E175s equipped with HUDs?

No HUD, but they do have the optional Headroom Limiting Device. (HUD enclosure)

Keep thinking I'm gonna hit my head on that one day.

I found the training at Compass to be very good. Instructors and examiners are excellent. I've only just started flying the 175 but I love it and much better than the 145 I did three years on.

You'll hold MSP before you're out of training. I had an instructor who commuted from DC to MSP but didn't ask how that commute is.

One day? I hit that thing with my head or headset every 5 minutes. That's why I like the AA planes... No plastic box!
