I disagree. The MSP locals are almost all captains by now. Most people hired now have no intention of bidding MSP at all. That's why it's been going to guys before training is over without problem.

Agreed. Most pilots in the MSP area considering Compass are just going over to Endeavor because the pay them $20k in hush money every year for eternal career stagnation.

Have you actually heard of guys leaving Compass to go to Endeavor just for the bonus money? If so then TSH better get their act together. They've been spoiled by how willing people are to come here without ANY monetary incentive besides a fast upgrade. It can't be long until Compass starts offering a bonus (hiring or retaining) of some sort.

People aren't leaving Compass for Endeavor, but potential new hires that are from MSP or east of the Mississippi are picking Endeavor for the money. It's been cited multiple times when they've called to cancel a spot in class.

Interview is scheduled. I'll assume I'm probably too late at this point.

Gottcha... Reading comprehension is hard ;-p I still think Compass needs to up its game and sweeten the pot for new pilots considering Compass.

Why? To overfill already full classes?

no, smart ass. To attract the best we can and to be PROACTIVE. It's not something regional airlines do so we can't count on that happening.

Agreed.

To those wondering about how getting MSP has been going. It has varied a little bit the last few months. Some recently are either in training or about to start IOE and got it for Sept. Others have been on the line in LAX for the last month, and just got it for August or Sept. Roughly late Feb-mid march Hires. But from my class date to the day I start in MSP in sept, will be in the 4-5 month range. But keep in mind 3.5 months of that was CBT/schoolhouse/sims and waiting for IOE.
