there are actually quite a few. I've talked to a few people recently that are awaiting class dates at UAL, DAL (non-flow), AK, and NK

 

Virgin as well.

 

Ok, so to be clear here (it's the weekend so I won't have a chance to reply to Compass until Tuesday) I am aware it's best doing that form one month into the next, perfectly understandable and reasonable. The main concern, though, is it something that a guy could expect to be getting in the left seat within a year, considering attrition, etc. (and I know that nothing is certain in the airline industry, ie. flow / attrition).

Reason I ask about each regional separately is due to the differing scheduling models between them and me not having any contact in the C48 to talk to about it personally.

Finally, what is first year FO and CA pay like, respectively?

 

Do you have any 121 or 135 time? If not, then you can't do it 1 year. It will take a minimum of 1.5 years to start and get 1000 hours.

My good sir, I have well over 6000 hours of 121 time, in all 3 seats.

Poopchute, is it simply guarantee x hourly, or are there other "hidden" bits of income which come into play on the line towards the overall credit (please bear with me, I've never worked at any carrier which has "credit" time).

 

Good for you.

 

Yep it is, now are you done assuming?

 

Assuming what? I asked if you had 1000 hours of 121 time. If you think that is assuming when asking for help, good luck in this industry. Great start.

 

I have an offer at Compass and I am hoping some of you that are there can help me understand a couple things (I am new to the regionals).
My priority is QOL. So, I am hoping that the attrition and growth forecast to occur in the next year will get me into a line-holder with decent seniority reasonably quick. But, hearing talk of reduced efficiency trips has me wondering. Is there a requirement to reach a certain number of hours each month (if so how many)? How does this affect the prospective QOL'er? If there was a requirement to reach 75 hours each month, I am thinking the ideal line would be something with 4 3-day trips that credit ~20 hours each (even if all weekends). Is my line of thinking sorely in need of a reality check, and/or am I in the neighborhood of possibility? FWIW, looking to be based in LAX. Thanks all...
One more question: I have a class in a couple weeks and have not received any materials (limitations, memory items, etc.)... Don't they send this stuff out in advance?
