Classy of one of our codeshare partners adding the $ to their logo on their secure website. Nice way to rub in everyone's face that today is their profit sharing payout

Keep those APUs running boys!

Yeah what a joke. $1 billion in profit sharing and the people who earn 50% of it don’t see a dime

You get paid in the honor of being able to fly for them. Someday if you touch enough mainline pee-pees they'll let you join their club.

Long time reader of the Saga (6mnths) first time poster. KLGB based CFII 500hrs interested in Compass (fly with cool peeps, stay near LA, E175, relatively quick upgrade, sign on bonus) however concerned about contract renewals. Any estimated forecast when the contract decision will be announced? I'm forecasting 1,500hrs by this time next year (2019). Think the announcement will come by then? Hate to jump aboard Compass early 2019 only to have contract with Delta/American discontinued 2020 leaving me swimming to another regional in hopes to make it to a major. Thanks all

I think you'll know more in 2019. Are you at ATP trying to decide who to sign with or something? Or just wondering?

My advice, interview with everyone. Come armed with plenty of questions, they need you more than you need them so give them the investigative reporter treatment to weed through their BS. Schedule the interviews as close to possible together so that all information from each one is current. Go in each interview assuming that major hiring will shut down once you get hired and you may get stuck there for a decade. That way you'll make a more educated decision and not just follow the jet or temporary selling points, pick a place that will give you the best QOL long term not short. What's a good quality of life is up to you and don't let people persuade you either way, that's your decision. Once you've interviewed as many places as you can, try to speak to actual line pilots not recruiters. After that try and make a decision. Either way it will probably be wrong because we're all regionals and are a cheap labor force for mainline and they will cut any of us loose if we threaten their profits.
