As far as the LOR, unless those people know someone I don't think it would make a difference if it was a Commutair FO or a Delta Capt. They had more pull it seemed when CP was wholly owned but I doubt it does now. Still good to have LORs though so don't get me wrong. Apply and see!
An aside, how was he number one on the 75 at 26 years?

As people always say, apply and see! If your time isn't legal to log then I'm quite certain you can't count it… They have a lot of applicants so I don't know how flexible they will be with the 100 hours ME unless you know some important people. As far as the LOR go, they definitely can't hurt your cause. Are they as good as knowing someone in the recruiting department? Probably not. But give it a shot. Good luck.

He was a captain for many years with Northwest, merged and became one of the most senior in the whole company, most senior on the AC certainly. He had mentioned he was a 26 year captain at his retirement. So since he was 39? Might have been is total years as captain also and not in a row on a single AC. But im fairly sure had been on the 757 and 767 most of his career as FO or capt. But he was the most senior or #2 in the company when he retired.

CDO=Continuous Duty Overnight, Constantly Dozing Off, High Speed, Standup, whatever you want to call it. IE, a late departure and early morning return where the company cannot give you legal rest in between so they keep you on-duty continuously.....problem solved. Well......for now. But that's another thread.
Most likely, your first few lines off reserve at Compass will be a CDO line. Right now they go very Junior within the company and your still only getting about 11-13 days off depending on how the lines are built.

Yes, 117 allows CDO's with some limits. No more than 14 hours from beginning to end, and crew must be given at least a 3 hour rest break. Additionally, no extensions to the FDP are permitted.
That's a greatly oversimplified summary of the ALPA FAR117 guide on the topic, but the long answer to your short question is yes.
