Compass Airlines..Dumb kid

[BoilerUP]

Too bad MSP is going to be the only Domicile for Compass...

And oh yeah, their minimums are 1500/1000 (although I know published minimums don't mean anything).

No, because he said it was out of dulles. He has worked for pncl as a bag basher for 3 yrs and he thinks that any plane with a red tail he can fly.

wow that one went right over your head.

This may or may not be true, but, and you wouldn't believe it, people with lot less time than 500 have been successfully hired and have flown planes as big as 757s. Not in the US recently (...do look back in the 60's and you'd find that statement is true even for the US), but in Europe.

There was an article in the 90's about a 23-yearl old female from England who was an F/O on British Airways' 757 with I think around 350 hours. There was also a 23 year old male (coincident about the age) who was hired to fly 737's for UAL with less than 500 total hours. If you look up Flight Training or Flying magazine, I think from late 90's, there was a detailed article on him.

It all depends on quality of training and not many thousands of hours. I believe.

So, this person might as well have been pulling your leg because NWA does not fly, neither have they ordered, anything Boeing.

Dude I think you missed the joke, that link is for some virtual airline called compass - it's for flight simulator geeks by the looks of it.

The vast majority of these individual are nothing more than autopilot babysitters and if they aren't the Capt flys the legs. Ever heard of cruise crew...CX has a bunch of them

Oh wait, I almost forgot. United has a bunch of PF/Os too. Warm bodies, seat fillers

I'm surprised it wasn't an ISU grad. They have some realy ******************************s

You're dead wrong. I know it's hard for you to accept that they are flying those wide bodies (OK 75 is not), but don't underestimate their flying skills. On the other hand, if they ARE flying 75s and 74s like any other pilot is flying them, then why need thousands or hours? It becomes quite irrelevant, doesn't it? You don’t have to be

BA doesn’t hire for ‘Cruise Relief Pilot’. You’re hired as a First Officer and trained as a First Officer. Yes, Cathay and few Asian, and perhaps few others, do hire in to that category, but not BA. If they change that policy, then I’m not aware of it. But, still they have many very young pilots who they hire with lot less time than the average US pilot candidate.

Perhaps you had to bust your balls for many thousands of hours before you got your first airline gig, but it doesn’t mean everyone has to. The Law of Supply and Demand would dictate that. And, statistically, there’s no proof that the regional or major airliners start to fall out of the sky as soon as the pilot demand picks up for the 121 carriers and they start looking at candidates with much less experience then they had hired in the recent past.
