Does anyone know how long the wait for captain IOE is currently?

thanks for the info and advice. sent you a pm.

2 weeks for me. Told 3 days in advance.

Street captains is not going to happen IMO. Without listing all the numbers, we are almost done with our bulk upgrades. The Sept bid just was published and with the October bid that will end what we needed to cover the flows and the AA flying. Of course there will still be upgrades, but not at the 20-30 a month rate that we have seen and continue to see. Many of the bypassers that I have talked to are within 2-3 months of getting their 1000 as well. If they start to mark down for the October bid they have their 1000, which if you are 800 to 900 now, you should for a September class date, then the wave will begin to subside. I think the October bid will be very telling of more senior guys getting awarded and not guys still in new hire training. I heard some hard numbers around the school house and thats where I am basing this from. Just my 2 cents.

There are a few problems with your analysis above.
Firstly, the last award 04-15 was for 2 classes in July and 2 classes in August. They have been publishing 2 vacancies per month.
Secondly, once the flows finish leaving, we will still have a couple months of robustly upgrading. Remember, April May and June did not meet the projected 8 upgrades per week. These upgrades will eventually be needed so, the large vacancies will continue well past the flows ending and AA deliveries wrapping up.
This next large vacancy will go to the street. There should be AT LEAST 2 more classes in August, 4 in September, 4 in October and then most likely another 4 classes of 8 upgrades in November. Taking only from their last planning update, there'll be 10 more classes of 8 so 80, awarded by September.
Regardless, the question really is:
Will 40 FOs get their time in before the next award closes? 80 by the vacancy after that? I think the answer is No. Alternates are already from June classes. If you get hired this week, I bet you upgrade in the next vacancy.
The only thing I agree about is, there won't be "street captains". Compass will still train you as an FO and then upgrade you... IMO. All the nay-Sayers and haters said the quick upgrade was over if you didn't get hired by December or January.
FACT: March hires were upgraded and June hires were listed as alternates.... And the music hasn't stopped yet.

Spot on. I was hired in February and was told I probably missed the quick upgrade. I actually came to be home based and even the non-quick upgrade was still quick IMO. So I was pleasantly surprised to catch the wave. I think there is still time to jump in... But not after September or October.

Do pilots getting hired now at Compass receive a Guaranteed Delta interview?

No....(app says this answer is to short)

Anyone know the current plan for hiring more FOs? Last I heard it was 5 a week through September but that was awhile back. Hoping it continues past September.

Does anyone know for sure if Compass will count 135 PIC time for upgrade or do they just require 1000 hours of 121?

Been in private/charter my whole career and considering the airlines. Anyone else made that change? Have a fairly secure gig but being on call all the time does get old so thinking a change in scenery and a new challenge might be a good thing. Thanks for any input!
