I interviewed and was told by HR that the interview went very well. 3 weeks went by, and I never heard anything. I made a phone call, and found out that I was hired and scheduled for class in 4 days. They've had some HR issues, give them a call.

Other than that it seems like everyone was very professional. Good company.

I know there will be another class starting on the 22nd. From what I gathered at orientation the other day, things will be slow in MSP after that for a short time due to the RNC being held there. I think interviews will even be held in Chantilly in the mean time.

How many more E175s will be delivered in 08 and 09? What are people being told about potential upgrade times? I hear the E175 is a pretty nice ride (sure beats my tired E145 - I'd love to trade it in).

Perhaps you guys should purchase this video to prepare/familiarize:

The 36th and final airplane will be delivered sometime in 2008.

None are planned after that and the scope in the new DAL+NWA contract is currently maxed out. The only way Compass could get more flying after airplane #36 arrives is to:
1) Get flying that another operator lost
2) Bid and be awarded new flying for another airline (i.e. Alaska, United)

Someone being hired today would be gaining seniority solely from attrition assuming the fleet does not grow.

If the fleet does not grow at all, and flowback nor flowthrough do not happen, I'd estimate someone interviewing at Compass this week will upgrade no sooner than 2012.

Doesn't sound that appealing to me. With that said, being furloughed by a major/national/regional airline tends to not leave many options in this economy. I guess if you are going to wait for recall or other options, sitting in an E175 for awhile wouldn't be too bad (as long as you could afford the pay). You could do a lot worse.
