need some compass help.
 
Hey I'm a soon-to-be furloughed 9L FO. Currently I'm seeking employment with compass as I want to stay as far away from 50 seaters as possible. This will be my 3rd go at regionals. Anyone with some advice or connections would be greatly appreciated. I know it's kinda forward but I don't know anyone at compass... Thanks. -J

The big N always points to magnetic north.

thanks for the hot tip! I just knew you point the plane towards the N it's gets colder you point it to the S it gets warmer.

Unless you keep pointed S long enough then it gets colder again.

Never had that problem in the Saab. Not quite a "long range" bird.

To be honest, asking for "connections" when no one on here knows you shouldn't sit well with anyone who may be thinking about it. I feel for your situation, but doing your networking on APC is not a good place to start.

3rd regional? Fate is speaking to you and airline managers are laughing. Time to try something else maybe. This job isn't worth all that.

Ouch, tough crowd. Maybe net-working on APC isn't a good idea because there are so many dicks on here. I can't help you with Compass, but I hope you find a job. Good luck.

You can't blame the guy for wanting some help. The old theory the squeaky wheel get's the oil. I would help him but I am employed at 9E , and I am the same canoe.

if you think This is where I started you're dead wrong. trust me when I say this was one of my last stops. I'm not asking for some compass guy to roll out the red carpet for me. Maybe just point me in the right direction. get me intouch with a recruiter or give me some tips on what they're looking for. If it doesn't sit well with you that's fine but why beat a guy while he's down? My company doesn't need the help doing that I assure you.
