Compass now hiring!

[hou757]

Hey listen. No flame here at all. I was just wondering, why do you have E190 on your aircraft ratings? Last time I checked compass doesn't fly the 190. Its like an air Wisconsin pilot putting up CRJ-900 on his aircraft ratings. An E170 would have sufficed. Those are the little ERAU things that make you go hmm...

I think they get typed in both the 170/190 during initial training..

You are correct.....same ride, just had to be taught some differences. And of course they did this to tick off CX880........even though he's closing in on 2000 post, he get's no respect!!!!

 

[Moustache]

Cool dude! Although i'm sure you tell the ladies that you are a Delta pilot. Don't worry, no one can hear you. Except for Jesus.

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

Check again... You really are slow. The type rating is written exactly as on my license 170/190. Under aircraft flown it says 175.

Wow, this thread took a turn for the useless...

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 thought Comair was sold by Delta years ago or was that ASA? Either way why do you feel that Comair has rights to be hired at Compass if Comair didn't negotiate for that right?

Comair and Compass are owned by Delta . I don't think two ALPA carriers owned by the same company should allow one to furloughs while the other one hires.

Ha...i applied there...12 years 121, >8000 TT, >4000 JetPIC...got a no thanks email from the "talent acquisition team". not that i would have gone anyway, but have to apply to 3 jobs a week to collect unemployment.

You make it sound so simple, yet the histories of both companies are very different, which I'm guessing I don't need to explain. If everything between the companies were equal, I'd agree with you, but Compass is a relic of the Redtail, with it's own contractual differences and problems, and Comair is the longtime child with feel-good stories like RJDC. The only reason Compass is hiring is in prep to lose pilots with the Delta flow. That's the same flow that most people thought would result in the flushing of the entire list a year or two ago. The general opinion has shifted from "Glad I didn't take that risk and I'm not there to get furloughed" to "Oh crap, that flow might work, that's not fair because I'm not getting mine, how can we make it look bad and stop someone else from success?".

This isn't the only airline with this issue. Not all are ALPA, but what about Pinnacle/Colgan, Skywest/ASA, The whole Republic/Frontier/Midwest debacle? At the end of the day, even though they are both owned by Daddy D, they are ran as two very different airlines. If ALPA kept everything equal, well we would all live in a very different world, for better or worse.

do you have a 4 year degree?

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.

yes..

Oh sorry about that if that's the case.

Hahaha dude you don't fly for Delta!

You are making sense now!!!!

 

[BoeingBaller]

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

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?
