You do know that the people who are applying to Compass are not 200hr wonders with SJS, right? These guys (and gals) have all been around the block. All (or almost all) are on furlough from a major or a large regional. I'm sure they'd take a 18k (it's really more like 24k) flying job, as opposed to sitting on unemployment. I don't blame them. I'd do the same thing if I was in their shoes.

Boeing, please tell us more about yourself, because I'm sure you started somewhere at 22/hr. Don't throw stones.

As a matter of fact I did not... If people would stop accepting these terms the pay would go up regardless of the state of the economy .

I'll bite. Where did you go? I can't find a regional that starts with more than 26/hr

Are they only interviewing guys with internal recs? I have 2000 hours of E170 time and filled out the online app. Is there anything else I need to complete or is that all that's required for now? Thanks guys.

There is nothing wrong with taking a job at Compass. Its a good regional job. Get off your high horse. He didn't go to Hojet.

The point is if everyone would stop accepting these payscales it would change. Get on your high horse and make a change. You guys can come back with what ever you want but, when you have to sign a 12k a year contract for a 18 k a year job it is time to do something else.

Regardless of the pay, bennies and what all congrats to DASH and the others that got hired. All the best to your new venture.

We have quite a few ex-ATA guys (a couple who were very senior) in the FO ranks at Compass, they freely acknowledge they'll bolt once better opportunities arrive on the marketplace.

In the meantime though they're gaining a type rating, maintaining currency, and still doing something to bring in money for their families, even if it is a miserly sum. When things do turn around they'll be very marketable, years of experience, still actively flying, and a type rating on a 4th generation aircraft.

If you're lucky maybe your airline will recall one day, if not, hopefully for your sake some of the less selective carriers will hire pilots who've not flown for a couple years.

How are MSP and MEM as far as seniority for FO's goes? Able to hold that out of class if you choose as well?
