That should happen in a few days after you return the documents they sent you.

Did someone say that Compass does not pay hotel for training? Yikes!

My .02 would be to hang in and fly your current position until you get the job you really want. I've been in class with guys who come strait from corporate, especially flying heavy gear like the falcon. It would suck if you were in the middle of school at a place like Compass and your first choice called. I would put little faith in anything with NWA stamped on it.

So....as for the interview process, I know how it works (interview, 727sim, and knowledge test) but what is the sim like and what is the knowledge test like? Basically an ATP test, I'd assume.

Who or what are your sources????
