Same here. Was told "oh, I have to read some stuff off a script for you!".

Seems like they are still working out how to get the hotels arranged. Should be interesting.

Edit: as far as making 40k here at CPZ with the new pay rate...doubtful. Training is currently around 3.5 months. So you're going to try and make 40k in 8.5 months? That's a bit of a stretch guys.

Is it going to be the same hotel as the crew hotel in LAX?

I would imagine, but I guess we'll find out.

That depends on how you look at it. I rather look at the glass half full....

You should see it as when you start on reserve, not when you start training. Some regionals, like Skywest, only give you a 65 hour min guarantee during training.

So in essence, if you make Day 1 on reserve your 1st day of actual "line pay", you'll actually end up making way more than 40k, cause you'll have 3.5 months of Year 2 mixed in there.

Whatever they pay you during regional airline new hire training is a joke, it's not even enough to cover food while you're away!

What's causing training to be 3.5 months long?
Where are they sending the new hire for the sim?
What's the pay during training?

Thanks

You're right. But it's not paid guarantee from the start. My point is that for several months you're not going to get "90 to 95" hours of credit at $35.81, so making $40k in your first year is all but impossible.

Overall the moral/working conditions at at Compass are much better than the other regional airlines I've been at (Pinnacle and Republic). Personally I believe there is some added value to that.

My 2 cents.

But like you said, pay isn't everything. #isurvivedRAHtoo
