The irony is that you would most likely have been a significantly better pick by pilot selections. Keep trying, and good luck.

If he was a compass guy he was probably a flow. Pilot selections would not have been involved.

Is talking about 737 training permitted in a NYC train "Quiet Car" ?

Is talking about 737 training permitted in a regular NYC subway car?

By name. Yes several times. I wanted to deck him. Anyway, enough about that. I just couldn't wrap my head around who would down talk delta. Surely not someone who had tried hard to get it. Of this I am certain.

Careful with that. There probably close to 150 non flow pilots from Compass here who interviewed just like everyone else. The last ever flow pilots from Compass started here in summer 2015.

Because Transstates and Compass are the only airlines that operate Embraer aircraft.

You know what they say about assumptions....and don't tell a recruiter that you wanted to punch anyone.

Isn't Expressjet the largest E145 carrier in the country? Don't Skywest, Republic, and Mesa fly the same aircraft as Compass? That's a pretty ignorant comment
