I made the Jump to compass about 2 months ago. I just finished my checkride and Im trying not to look back. The only thing thats killing me is first year pay again.

Compass is well positioned within the delta system. No 50 seaters to take away. A great product from a passenger stand point.

They will give you your ATP and Type rating so thats kinda nice. Any questions PM me.

Happy Thanksgiving all. Hope those that are on the road make the most of it and aren't slaves to scheduling, and those of us furloughed I suppose can be thankful for being home.

To answer your question 200, no I don't have an ATP. As a matter of fact, have to take the written (again) for the interview. As far as hours is concerned, I far exceed their requirements except for the ATP. If it truly happens, I'll post how it goes in the future.
When you say "take the written for the interview" are you referring to the written test that you take as part of the interview? Also, if someone could refresh my memory on the discussion this thread had about ATP Writtens expiring/not expiring while on furlough, that would be great. Thanks!

They do not expire while on furlough. You still hold an employee and seniority number. Contact Michael P. (ALPA) and he can give you more information regarding ATP checkride using your written.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Figured I'd throw this on here. If any of you guys are looking to get your ATP certificate, AllATPs is offering a $995 special until the end of the year. This is only good at the Dallas location!!! Pretty good deal.

An oldie one, but still good for a chuckle......Y'all enjoy your weekend.


"A fellow walked into a pet store and was looking at the animals on display.

While he was there, an Airman from the local Missouri guard unit walked in and said to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a line monkey, please."

The clerk nodded, went to a cage at the side of the store and took out a monkey.. He put a collar and leash on the animal and handed it to the Airman, saying "That'll be $1,000." The Airman paid and left with the monkey.

Surprised, the fellow went to the shopkeeper and said, "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did that one cost so much?"

The shopkeeper answered, "Ah-----that was a line service monkey. He can park, fuel, and service all air national guard aircraft, conduct all required ground ops testing, rig aircraft flight controls, and all with no mistakes. He is also trained in all flight line ops. He's well worth the money."

With his interest peaked, the fellow looked around and spotted a Monkey in another cage with a $10,000 price tag. "That one's even more expensive! What can it do?"

Oh, that one is a "Maintenance Supervisor" monkey. He can instruct at all levels of aircraft maintenance, supervise all corrective and preventive maintenance programs, supervise a crew of maintainers, and even do most of the paperwork. A very useful monkey indeed," replied the shopkeeper.

The guy looked around a little longer and found a third monkey in a cage.
The price tag read, "$50,000". Holy crap! What does this one do?"
"Well, the shopkeeper said, I've never actually seen him do anything but drink beer, screw the girl monkeys, and play with his pecker, but his papers say he's a pilot."
