Numerous attempts?? I'm hearing you either know it 100% or see ya.....no numerous attempts. What I am saying is that one could go here as prepared as she or he thinks they are and still wash out due to the lack of second chances. You may have a sim partner not up to snuff, you might not have a flow down pat.....seems pretty severe. The goal should be to give people who put forth the effort to get them through. Why would one go to Compass knowing that they are not in teaching mode but rather you should know it cus you had cbt mode. This practice in our industry needs to stop
It’s not one and done dude. We just don’t drop you and move onto the next new hire because you forgot a simple flow or call out or because you failed a training event. You get a couple tries and then if you still can’t hack it, then it goes to the training review board just like any other airline. For all the new hires, stop thinking that compass training is god awful and harder than any other airlines in the industry. Again, show up prepared, know your call outs and flows like the back of your hand, be able to say your call outs while watching tv and not just in perfect order but in random order as well, and have a positive attitude.

Anyway these fines are common among major and regional airlines. SKW was fined 1.23 Million not long ago.

Why the failures.....****ty training? Lack of experience? That's ridiculous. I've heard that it's a fire hose, fend for yourself deal. This is sad......there is not one major who would treat its new hires like this.....maybe Spirit. I have spoken with many guys and gals at the majors who said Compass training was nothing more than a wash out machine.......go to Compass, and never get hired any where else.
If you know memory items verbatim, flows and call outs, all the sopa/smac scripts going into class you should be sitting pretty. I'm guessing the ones with trouble are assuming this is like sophomore year at [insert 141 college] and they'll be taught everything. Nope, we ain't got money for a good scheduling software we ain't spending it on training 23 year olds.

I think it’s the “70%” wash out rate that has some people freaked out. But they are not taking into account that was when only like 4 dudes would show up for a class when we started hiring again

I'm not trying to **** all over the training there. I appreciate any feedback. I have been working my ass off learning this ****. I have the flows down, I have the memory items down.....hell there is only 8. I have a descent grasp of the systems, I have been flying jet aircraft with glass and fms for a long long time.....I have been pouring my heart and soul into this......and yes the mention of a 70% failure rate freaked me out.
