(I couldnt tell you the difference).

Dental is $50 single yearly deductible. $8 per month out of paycheck.

Aside from the prices, is the coverage good? my current regional's coverage sucks!

Grew up in MN looking to fly for Compass with the flow to the airline I want to work for one day, but I know things have changed since the sale and loss of all that. Also any Guard/Reserve pilots that fly here let me know how days off work and if it is not bad with Compass. Appreciate it in advance.

I'll maybe let someone in the know answer on MSP, but...SEA FO is more senior than MSP FO. And MSP CA is more senior than SEA CA. It'll take maybe 6 months to hold MSP as FO, in my opinion. But I am not MSP based.

You need 2500TT and 1000 P121 to qualify as Compass captain. Word around Compass is lots of FO's are getting their time and becoming qualified for CA. HR is telling people on phone screening that a 1.5-2year upgrade seems accurate for your expectation. With that said, no one can tell how it'll shape up.

As for Guard, airlines cant discriminate for your service.

Thats all the help I can provide, otherwise I'd be sharing hot air.

Much appreciated Sig. That's what HR said as well. Just looking for some outside opinions.

(Or i guess bid% was 100 if thats how you want to look at it)

Of course, in a month this could all change again. But this is what I have witnessed personally in the last 30 days.

As far as upgrade. 1.5-2 sounds right for zero 121 time for anyone hired in the last year.
