You may be able to get in with less then a 1000 multi though. My sim partner at Compass only had 600 multi when he was hired. Does'nt hurt to fill out the online application, just make sure you meet all the other requirements.

For what it's worth...
Age discrimination is only protected for employees over the age of 40. Wiki the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Compass could set an arbitrary age of 23 or 39 and be within the bounds of the law, that's not good business though.
You exceed competitive minimums? That's really impressive for someone who is not 23! What kind of experience do you have? Do you have a degree?
Apply, it can't hurt.
If you get hired quit your whining...Compass has already exceeded it's whining quota.

As far as the age thing, it's no different than when a bar requires you to be 21 to be hired as a bartender.

Can compass discriminate by age?
Just curious-- I'm only remotely willing to give up seniority for delusional security, but I am intrigued.

I will give you credit for having a fair amount of time for a young guy however competitive mins at Compass are up in the 4000 to 6000 time with lots of PIC. I know its a regional but its all about suply and demand right now. Plus your 22 go out and enjoy some more college and chase some tail.

Currently, Compass is holding to ATP minimums for applicants; in the past they have been flexible on the 1,000 hours of multi time. Anyone seriously interested should complete the application very soon. If the company decides to run a class for December, they may start interviewing soon.
