Compass now hiring!

[titans10]

Great. Comair is owned by the same company you are. They are both ALPA. And Comair has almost 300 pilots on furlough and you are hiring. Great job ALPA!

I think I remember something about comair doing the samething back....

 

[johnsonrod]

It has to be mentioned. After the way Comair pilots treated Delta pilots post-9-11 (requiring Delta resignation to get hired at Comair while on furlough), Comair pilots should never expect "an easy path" to Delta. I am sure there are exceptions. Maybe that will change with the NWA blood, but the Delta pilots I know who have some influence still have long-term memories... Sad to say, but a bunch of old Comair dorks poisoned the well for a lot of good pilots.

 

[JJET44]

Exactly! It's all about what's negotiated. If preferential hiring at a sister carrier is important to your pilot group then you should have negotiated for it. ALPA works for you. You tell them what you want from the company and they try and get it.

This thread was primed and ready and you guys blew it.

 

[skypine69]

do you have a 4 year degree?

yes..

 

[CX880]

Check again... You really are slow. The type rating is written exactly as on my license 170/190. .

Oh sorry about that if that's the case.

 

[CX880]

You seem to have some jealosy or envy issues......

Hahaha dude you don't fly for Delta!

 

[Moustache]

Hahaha dude you don't fly for Delta!

You are making sense now!!!!

 

[BoeingBaller]

I hear Delta is now conducting the interview process...

 

[Beechman]

For those of you who received the thanks, but no thanks e-mail: how long was it from the time you applied until the e-mail?

Delta is NOT performing the interviews. CPZ is using the DAL ATL facility for pre-employment testing until Compass gets its facility in MSP set up. Personal interviews will be conducted by CPZ.

Exactly, DAL cannot perform the hiring process for Compass; that would consititute a vertical integration problem, and Compass could no longer be held as a separate entity.

Instead, a Deltaesque interview will be conducted by Compass people using very, very similar (*pounding shoe on table*) assesment standards.

 

[jetflier]

Folks as DAL parks the NWA DC9-30-40's CPZ will increase their flying.......there's something wrong with that.

If you think that's wrong, well.....................

Incorrect, Compass cannot increase flying due to DAL limits on 76 seat flying. Compass is hiring to replace potential "flow" to DAL this fall. This was the intent of both NWA and ALPA when Compass was established.

So did anyone get a call this week to schedule an interview? I applied and at least haven't received a rejection e-mail. 4000 total, 2500 Part 121, 1900 E170 time and an internal rec. Furloughed NJA. Maybe I'm still in the running.

Do you have a 4 year degree? It's a must for Delta flowthrough.

 

[no1pilot2000]

Quick question. Why do some regional airlines fly turbo props and some fly RJ's? I have flown two different airlines from BWI to HPN. On one trip, I flew a Dash 8 by Piedmont and the other trip I flew via Air Wisconsin on a CRJ.

For the same reason why some drive Mercedes and some drive Toyota.

Different aircraft for different purposes, sometimes the capabilites of both types overlap. Hence, you'll have multiple types serving the same routes on occaison.

Yes I do.

 

[erjip]

Yes I do.

Good luck to you and hope you get the interview and the job.

I appreciate the kind words. I've applied 3 times so far. Each time they open the hiring window I apply. Like I said, no rejection e-mail yet, but no interview. Just hanging in there.

 

[BoeingBaller]

I know a few guys at Compass without a 4 year degree. One of them is very senior and seems to think the flow thru will not be an issue. Your pessimistic thoughts please?

Don't ask don't tell. Not sure if they ask for transcripts during the flow process. For the guys at Mesaba that took the flow, it was mainly.."this is your class date for the "9".

There are pilots working at Legacy without a 4 year degree. But that is past tense. Mesaba did hire folks without a degree during the hiring boom.

But if you look at the Compass website, it clearly states 4 year degree required. On the application process it does ask you educational background.

 

[JoeMhama]

Phase I scheduled

Just got a call today from Compass HR for a Phase I interview in ATL. Consists of an ATP, personality, and cognitive skills test. If I do well in ATL I get invited to interview in MSP at a later date.

Has this always been the MO for getting hired on at Compass? Is it being done this way now because of the whole Delta flow agreement? Or are there people who can bypass Phase I and go straight to the personal interview in MSP?

FWIW I applied on May 22, I also have an internal rec.

 

[atpcliff]

Hi!

Previously, the whole hiring process was w/ Compass in MSP.

The guy at Compass without a degree I think qualifies for the flow, because the 4yr degree requirement was changed AFTER lots of guys were already at Compass, and the flow was ALREADY established...

[surveypilot]

I applied initially in January, and received the thanks but no-thanks email in mid May. I just assumed they flushed the system when they re-opened the window, so I reapplied.

For those of you who received the thanks, but no thanks e-mail: how long was it from the time you applied until the e-mail?

 

[hou757]

Why not all in MSP?

 

[CX880]

I don't get it, what does that have to do with rjs and tprops flown on the same route? And by the way, Toyotas are actually better built and last longer than Mercedes with less maintnance. You should have picked Dodge or Kia.
