Compass or ExpressJet - thoughts?
 

Looking at joining the 121 regional world and these two come recommended. Not really concerned about being hired and typed with the R-ATP, since I already hold an ATP, earned it the old school way with 1,500 hours. In addition to all the normal questions, I am basically looking to see how long reserve will last at either airline and which base is the junior base for that airline.

I'll be commuting out of FLL or PBI. An ATL base for XJ would make for an easy commute.

Thanks for your time.

From what I have been through since I was hired just over a year ago, let me be the first to say, stay far far away from ExpressJet, This place hands down has got to the worst run airline or business I have been associated with, and I am not the only one that feels this way! Hope this helps.

Hands down Compass. Current Compass CAs hired before Aug 2010 will all be at Delta through the flow starting now until all gone. You have guaranteed movement this way whereas ExpressJet is stagnant.

Agreed. Given the option between the two, I'd pick Compass every time with the theoretical large-scale movement ahead. That, and they seem to be the only regional that has a semi-functional relationship with Delta at the moment. Comair and Pinnacle guys can tell you how bad it sucks when Delta has it in for a regional.

What about those two plus Skywest?

Compass hands down, no questions asked.

Still Compass by a mile. Stay away from the mega regionals.

Compass compass compass compass compass, and did I mention Compass? Absolutely zero question there.

compass. XJT is being run by morons.

I would also have to say compass, but if the Fll / PBI commute is anything like TPA, than forget about it .....

That commute is tough .....

Good luck
