[skid]

Any idea what the payscale is going to look like?

Do a search this has been mentioned and posted before. if not go to APC forums

Got the interview invite and packet. The advantage to this is being able to go quickly into the left seat. Any guesses as to how quickly a person hired in June or July would move over to the left seat?

Also got the interview package for an interview late June. Any gouge on the Sim ride or the written test? How many classes have they had so far? Anyone?

Howdy-

Congrats to you who have received interview invitations. Quick question- is there anything informational in the interview packet, or is it all just pre-employment paperwork. Specifically- I was wondering if there was any mention of a training contract or pay (or lack thereof) during training. I'd sure appreciate any info!

Thanks-
Olds

How did Compass contact you before sending you an interview packet? Also, I haven't seen a sim profile, but I've read it's mainly demonstrating instrument flying (ie. climbs, turns, etc..). I'm not sure who's running the sim. Is it Compass or NWA?

Interview packet consisted of a basic letter with all the info about the interview. Interview and Sim is at Pan Am in Eagen. An additional pilot information form that needs to be filled out and faxed back. Thats about it with hotel lists, but no more info on Compass itself. I recieved mine via email, and it says one was fedexed to my house but I havn't gotten it yet. Just wondering if anyone has taken the written and where primarilly the questions come from? Thanks

12 month $12000 pro rated training contract

Thought there might be something along those lines. Thanks for the heads up- definitely something to consider.

Got the invite also. June 25th

Anyone know how many have been hired? Are they still hiring for capt. or just for fo's?

Got another job offer, so I will not be going to the Compass interview.

I had no communication from Compass before I got the interview letter. I filled out the online application back in late March. I heard nothing until the FedEx guy showed up the other day with a letter. Later that same day I got an e-mail with all of the same stuff as the FedEx packet.

The way they did this seemed a little odd. Most companies will call and invite you to an interview and then give you a range of dates to fit your schedule. Compass just sends you a letter telling you that you have an interview on a certain date.

Yeah, agreed!!
I like the part where they say "we will make every effort to reschedule, however, we cannot guarantee our ability to do so."

My schedule at work is set for the rest of the summer. One week on one off. I work the week of my interview. My vacation was bidded for last fall so if I want go, I have to call in sick or take my chances of getting rescheduled.

Heyas,

That's fairly typical for a Minnesota company. Everyone there thinks the sun revolves around Minneapolis and, of course, so should your schedule.

I was reading about the flow through to NWA. What's that all about?

Can anyone post some gouge on the interview process please?
