Any word on where the first couple classes for Compass going to be based?

Don't know, but up to this point pilots have been able to hold the base they want within a few months of hitting the line.

I have since heard that they are going to busy to moderately busy international airports with paved runways, and many, many pretty lights

Vast expanses of concrete and shopping malls with jetways attached.

They are going to the welfare office to apply for food stamps just like every other regional newhire.

They are going to their local HUD office to apply for section 8 housing in big and small cities all round the US

they are going to join the throngs in the land of disenchantment.

I predict that 1 out of every 6 replies to this thread will be serious.

Haha...very nice.

The new hires are going to training, then to the line to fly, then back to their previous job once their re-call comes around.
