Currently, I have been working for Comair for 9 yrs; 6 as PIC of CRJ 50. I live in Indianapolis and want to return to MSP, where I grew up. I applied at Compass, understanding that after 2 yrs as a Captain there, I would get an opportunity to work for NWA. I just wanted to know how the NWA pilots feel about Compass and if there is any ill will? Thanks

Sounds like the interviews for Compass are now going to include a captains panel (of mainline pilots) and a 727 sim ride- all at the insistance of NWA management, since the flow through has the potential to put off the street Compass guys onto the NWA seniority list in a few years.
Guess that we'll find out in a few weeks after the first few interviews.

Actually that's not the way that I read it, or how it seems to be turning out based on the interview process.

But I have read the agreement, and seen a lot of other info first hand, and as far as I can tell (I'm no lawyer), the flow through applies to anybody employed at Compass that meets the time requirements.
Either way though, I wouldn't base an employment decision at Compass based wholly on the prospective of flow through to NWA. A lot can change in two years.

Are a lot of people applying to this place? Are the first interviews at the end of april? What happens if they get sold after they have 11 planes, as NWA has the right to do so in the contract?
