Compass air lines

[DrewBlows]

I was shocked to hear that someone thought Compass Airlines was hiring. Wow

FWIW, the SOC manager said they planned on hiring "about two dozen" pilots from July through the end of the year. I'm not sure how many have already been hired.

30 or so have been hired in the last 4 months, 6 started 2 days ago, 18 more announced for the rest of the year

Perhaps you should become a grammar teacher if you're so concern about it. You seem to be better at that. As far as being a LR-60 captain and interested on Compass, that's non of your concern.
If you have nothing good to say here, stay shut.

Who are you addressing? The last two posts seemed to be quite informative, and I would think, useful to you. Will you please clarify?

Is this really true? My buddies went there and took direct upgrades a couple years back and now I wonder if I'm missing out. One went on to Cathay. They've got United and ATA guys now, and it all seems to come down to getting a paycheck more than anything else. Am I really better as the 8 year regional FO with no upgrade in sight? I don't know anymore, just my honest assessment...

"and it all seems to come down to getting a paycheck"

Is it really worth it when you can make more money as a cashier at home depot and be home every night. The pay is pathetic.

Well, I'm referring to direct CA hiring a couple years ago. A lot of Alaska guys said "don't do it, it's a career killer". I did the Home Depot thing during furlough for two years and it's no walk in the park, but I agree that these 15yr ATA guys could be somewhere more meaningful than the right seat at GoJets right now.

He was talking to me. Apparently I offended his delicate sensibility when I pointed out that his resume is sure to be wadded up and thrown straight into the trash can because of his spelling. Maybe if he spent as much time learning proper english as he does p!ssing and moaning things would work out better for him.

Trust me. They won't be in the right seat for long. Not that that changes the fact that they're still at GJ.

NBO????
Nairobi, Kenya??
You poor bastard!
EEEEEEK!

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

Yep, NBO. It looks like they'll move my base to DBX soon. NBO is sort of the HQ for the operation (now NBO, Karthoum and DBX). NBO is alright, but I think DBX will be a lot better, overall.

I lost my US job in Dec, 2008 (passed on Compass interview in Aug, 2007...did not make sense to me or my CEO at the time!), and this NBO job is the ONLY one I could find, worldwide.

Have been updating my stuff at Compass continually since Dec.

I'm guessing you have a lot of experience based on the aircraft you have flown. That's good. Do you have a Bachelor's degree? I have heard rumors that DALPA is going to make that a requirement to flow. They stopped pushing for it when it was realized the flow won't happen for years. When it comes time to flow, the issue will be brought up again. I personally wouldn't feel very good about the flow if I worked for Compass.

The contract would have to be changed to require a bachelor's degree. What is Delta going to give up to require a bachelor degree which will affect virtually no one?

DAL took a few, and the fact is that the people in hiring had no clue what GoJet did to TSA. They did not care either. That is the facts, they really have no idea what goes on at this level. One of the guys knew that left TSA wen to Go and got a job here at DAL. Those are the facts, and that undercut a lot of his former pilots. DAL was the end game, he got it and now is here. Ugly truth.

It all comes down to the type of person you are. Some things are more important than a job.

What???

He said DALPA was gonna push for it.... And why do you automatically assume the company would not want it? Really a moot point in the next couple years, but there is time for all those who could be effected to finish that degree, which is rarely a bad thing

Mesaba requires it to flow, and I am sure that all other flows if they happen will require it. As for CPS, I am sure that if it is an issue, DALPA and DAL can amend the agreement and flow terms in two short strokes of a pen. DAL wants a degree, as do most pilots here.
