With 1 reserve today and 2 tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised. Got reassigned 3 times in a 24 hour period.

This has been the rumor since the sale. Not saying it won't happen but it's definitely not a new rumor.

Potential applicant here, does anyone have an idea of how long it might take a new hire to hold the Seattle base?

Read back a few pages or go to the interview and ask them.

Yup. They tried to do that to me yesterday.

New hires are being awarded Seattle in their first bidding. I would be very surprised if you didn't get SEA before you touched a plane.

Things do change often with airlines however. Attrition is expected to slow in December and January. So I don't know about SEA for new hires at that time. But I would anticipate it being a short wait, if it were to be a wait at all.

How slow are we talking about here? Hopefully not going to stop all together! I just turned 950hrs TT out of 1250 and was really hoping to land a gig with Compass seeing as I live in the MSP area.

Potential new applicant here as well. Ive been reading this forum awhile, just wondering is this is a place you guys recommend. Relocating to any of the bases are not a problem for me, i would just like to know if its a steady company and if it has a bright future, at least for a regional airline. I know its a small airline and wonder if its going to have lots of staffing issues.

I've been at two other regionals before coming to Compass. Of the previous two one declared bankruptcy and the others wheels are currently falling off. What I've gathered so far (still in training so take it with a grain of salt) is that Compass is a very professional outfit that actually cares about their employees quality of life. I would very much recommend Compass to any peer looking for a quality regional airline.

My 2 cents.

I wish I knew, I think without anymore airplanes its going to depend on attrition. If I were you I'd apply and interview now to be ready to go when you get the time.
