For a conservative company they sure like the liberal moderation tactics...

I don't think they have ERJs in SLC yet. The Delta 175s are on the west coast

Few questions...

When does the 1.5% pay increase go into effect?

Anything specifically I need to do in order to claim bonus for having prior 135 and jet type?

Odds of getting SLC straight out of training?

Aircraft to choose? Crj or erj AND WHY?

What is the "New Pilot Profit Share Payout Program"?

401K specifics.

1.5 year upgrade is posted on the company profile. Realistic?

Thanks in advance. All informotion was gained from company profile.

Is there a contract for new hires? I got hired by Compass already but my training date was deferred. Interview with SkyWest this Sat. Assuming I get offered a position I am trying to weigh the pros and cons of sitting it out for Compass or pressing forward with SkyWest. Guys seem happier at Skywest in the forums. That's for sure

No contract. Good luck.

Playing the waiting game just means giving up seniority here. If you choose to wait it out for CPZ you will have given up a ton of seniority here. For example if you wait for compass you may finally have a class but be on RSV for a while, while you could have already been here, gotten your base of choice, and possible have a line.

The above example is just an example and nothing more, but there are a lot of unknowns at CPZ right now and you would be the most junior pilot after a hiring freeze. That's never a good thing.

No pay increase for first year guys. Everyone else got a bump Jan 1st.

Just make sure when you interview you ask about the bonus.

Pretty good chance of SLC out of training or soon after, no chance to hold captain there for at least a decade.

If you want SLC, only the CRJ is flown there.

We get a percentage of the company profits, paid out 2x a year based on credit hours.

401k is 3,5,7% match based on years of service. 5 years at 3%.

It's hard to say, it's currently under 2 years and falling. A new hire could see 1.5 years, 2 is more realistic.
