Hi folks, just wondering if you recently hired and not-so-recently hired pilots at Compass would care to share your overall thoughts on working there, and would recommend the company? Info on what you like most and least would be helpful. Thank you.

Dude it's a regional. It all sucks and shouldn't be a thing in the first place. It's all an oscillating scale due to mainline whipsawing the regionals against each other. So one place may look great at one point only to suck the next month. If you want to live in SEA, LAX, or PHX or someplace easily commutable from there then join us or Skywest, upgrade as soon as possible, pad your resume, do some sexual favors for a mainline pilot, get a real airline job then you will be truly happy.

All in all I'm as happy as a regional guy could be. The planes work, the people are good, my schedule is okay, and my upgrade still may come within 2ish years. The grass is always greener and sometimes wish I chased the flows, or money, or growth blah blah blah. All I'm going to do now is get out as soon as possible and make as many friends here on the way.

I really like the Biscottis on American and the Banannas on Delta, but I really miss the Fig bars, especially the blueberry ones, QOL went down a little bit when those went away.

Um... I like our pilot group, leadership can be goobers, but I think we have good chief pilots. Glad we have a contract, sure it's abused, but at least we can file a grievance.

I like the airplane and the bases, VNAV, don't like the autothrottles in gusty winds, its like 'George' just got his PPL.

Reserve sucks, our contract has some nasty week spots that get exploited on a daily basis, but we have some good things going for us, its not all bad. Just come on over... it's still a good place...

Yah this was a better answer, although I won't be doing any sexual favors, just bribing.

I'll agree with what others have said and add some...

The bad. Iocc sucks, our contract has some really weak language, reserve can be a poop show, and compass/TSH management can't seem to think more than three months in the future.

The good. The crew's are almost all great, the flying is generally fun, we've got only a handful of lifers so as long as our CPAs stay alive we should have consistent movement, and there is a Panda Express 75 feet from our lax crew room.

Overall I'm happy. Generally, anyway. In two and a half years I've only NOT wanted to come to work a handful of times.

Been here a while and I’m happy with it as a non commuter. Worked at three different 135 companies prior.

I commute across 3 times zones. It's not fun especially after watching two regionals open a base back home. Still, lateral move isn't worth it. Schedule is alright, commuter friendly. Some really great people, great airplane. Would I commute this far again? Absolutely not but it has been a good learning experience. I would only recommend if you are a west coast guy/girl or want to move out there.

I'll chime in been here just over 2 yeasrs now;

The good: commuter friendly, decent movement, not many lifers, good crews.

The bad: short sided management, trip efficiency is going downhill, gaping holes in our contract language.

Bottom line: we're not the worst, but we definitely not the best either. If you live on the west cost or a very short commute away, come on over the wasters fine. If your gonna commute from east of the Rockies.. dont. there's much better options currently available to pilots looking for work. I personally commute two time zones via two legs to get to work, I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. So if you live west coast or plan to, sure it's a good place to work, but if your going to commute I'd look elsewhere first .

Appreciate all the replies. Thank you.

Speaking of Atl?
