Sounds like the place is kind of imploding. They will have trouble filling classes soon.

They already are. They cant fill all 6 slots most weeks. They were shockes when all 8 of us showed up a month ago. However I know of a few that are not coming back from my class at the end of the home study.

Also if you are getting ready to get started on the home study. get ready to get frustrated. Poorly put together. A lot of info (some good), very poor tests. The pay is about 1/4 of what it should be to get through it all too (basically what I expected).

I agree about the CBT for the general subjects portions. There was some good info but more than a few technical glitches throughout (missing graphics etc) and I think whoever made the tests wasn't talking to the people who put together the CBT. There are a lot of questions that weren't addressed in the CBT; the tests are a lot easier if you study the FOM.

Anybody else able to get into the high-altitude meteorology exam at the very end of the general subjects? It's the only thing I have left there and can't get in!

The aircraft CBT seems to be pretty decent so far, but was put together by an outside vendor and is about the E170 in general rather than Compass' E175s. Would be nice to have something that incorporates Compass' procedures while teaching the systems.

That is total absolute BS to pay someone CA pay only while in the left seat, and then FO pay for the rest of guarantee. Either you are a CA, or you aren't. What a stupid system.

I don't think anyone should settle down over this. It is egregious abuse.

No I don't fly at Compass, and yes, it is my business. This kind of crap is the business of every professional pilot out there.

I don't think anyone I know that quit their last job because of a letter of promised class date for a check airman position and CA pay from day one is going to settle down.
Then when you actually arrive in class they tell you after you have quit your old job that you will be paid as an FO till you start IOE. Then when you start IOE they say when you finish IOE???? Every pay day I get more upset...and poor. Good thing I still have generous parents to rely on....That's at the very least embarrasing to ask for help from your parents....I'm an airline CA and have been for several years and can't pay bills!!!
