Default Compass hiring vs SkyWest

Anyone know how many a month Compass is currently hiring and how long they plan to continue to hire for?

Same question but for SkyWest as well?

I'm currently at Pinnacle and looking at my options.

Compass is running five classes. Two of which have already started (had their orientation day) and the other three are coming from the pool (classes are generally four people, keep in mind we only have 420'ish pilots). After those it is all dependent on attrition.

Recently had a bid come out for 5 captains (3 DTW 2 MSP)

I believe SkyWest has put a hold on new classes for Jan/Feb or at least for sure in Feb...

Compass has 5 classes totaling 18 new hires or so over the next couple months, however there are 60 (give or take) in the pool still after that. I believe they are still interviewing. Realistically if you were to interview and get hired in the next couple months, it could be a year until you see a class date. Doubt it would be any quicker unless Delta started hiring (thus Compass pilots flowing) soon.

I will go ahead and make a bold prediction that Skywest will not be doing E170 flying for American

Word is last class to go through is end of December (28th?). No more hiring at SkyWest until further notice. That could change quickly though but that's the last word.

I have heard that most of the guys hired at Compass have had the breakfast buffet at the hotel the morning of the interview. True story.
