Hi!

It is because DAL is in charge, and DAL wanted some of the hiring process done in ATL.

Also, they guy was NOT saying that one airplane was crap, and the other great. He was saying they are different, with two different missions.

When I run errands around town (when I am in the US), I drive the Civic Si. When we go on a road trip to Toronto or Chicago with the family, we take the Toyota Avalon. And there IS mission overlap. We don't have an unlimited number of autos, so when we do errands in town with the WHOLE family, we take the Avalon, or if I go on a road trip by myself, or just with the boys, I take the Civic.

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.

All new hires now will be subject to the Delta interview minus the shrink. Phase I is in ATL for now until the proper people are trained to do it up in MSP. Nobody will be bypassing any phase of the interview unfortunately. I feel sorry for a the new hires that has to go through the new interview process.
 
Why do you feel sorry for the Cps newhires going through this new and improved interview process? We ALL did at DAL, the new hires at CPS are essentially being hired for DAL and will all flow to DAL within 3-4 years. Getting hired at CPS in the next 1-3 years is nearly as good as getting on at mainline, except the obvious and thinly veiled B scale. This will allow some RJ, furloughed and Military guys that don't get selected for an interview at mainline to get on in a roundabout way. Turnabout is fair play and if anyone trying to get on at CPS with the full knowledge and intention of flowing up to DAL then they should go through the same interview that WE did and nothing less. Glad to see the visit to the shrink is gone, total waste of time and money....hopefully they'll eliminate it for mainline as well.

Good luck to all applicants, you will honestly love it here!
 
Wait, so as a Compass guy, you have to interview at Delta? That kinda defeats the point of a flowthrough. It shouldn't be called a flowthrough if you have to interview, it shoudl be called a 'preferential interview.' BIG difference.

And I really wonder, if Delta furloughs ever happened, would mainline FOs have to "interview" to get on with Compass. Of course not. They would just flowright back, no questions asked. :rolleyes:

NO Compass has changed their Hiring process to Mirror Delta's Hiring process. Get hired at Compass "going through an Interview that is the same as a Delta Interview" Means you are hired at compass, and in a perfect world will be at Delta in 3-4 years without an interview. From what I have been told you simply just show up on day one of your Delta Ground school
 
ASA thread question about Compass

Is it true that if you fly at compass you are a Delta pilot?

ps. where did the ASA threads go?
 
Now that Deltas will be running the hiring, will the pilots hired pre delta hiring have to take the psycho test to be eligible to be a Delta pilot? Are there any gouges for that?
 
i've heard they wont have to interview at all. lucky f's.

you don't get more of a free lunch in this industry.

I know. Someone that I know who couldn't get into Skywest decided to try Compass even though he didn't really want to go there. We'll he got hired, said the interview was like 15 minutes talking about EFIS systems whether he knew how to fly on NAV. Now he's probably going to Delta lucky bastard.
 
Correct me if I am wrong but. I took my ATP written in 06 and been with a regional for the whole time which means it won't expire. Compass says that you have to have taken the atp written within 24 months. If mine is still current then why would they require me to take it again. Thanks for the clear up.
 
Hi!

Some airlines require your written to be 24 mos or less old. They don't care if it is "current" or not. Airline X is hiring, so Airline X can make up whatever rules they feel like, as long as they don't discriminate (or don't get caught discriminating).

What if you hold an ATP certificate? Do you still have to have a current written?
 
Hi!

Current written if you already have an ATP?

THAT is a good question.

As a technical writer, some of these hiring informational pages drive me crazy.

I just re-updated my application (the pilot job can now be found as an open position again on their hiring page). I just found out, from reading the minimum requirements closely, that I do not meet the minimums.

While I have the "time and experience requirements to meet ATP-MEL requirements", I do NOT have a Commercial-MEL and Instrument-MEL, and I do NOT have a current ATP Written.

I am almost 100% sure I meet the minimums, but whoever wrote them on their hiring page excluded me, with the current verbiage.

The wording on most things posted here at Compass dont make sense. Our manuals are just as bad. It is common to see on thing written in one place of a manual and then totally contradicted somewhere else.

Based on my experience when I came here in 07. If you have a ME-ATP you dont need a written. If you have a single ATP w/ no ME on it....I have no idea for sure but would think you are ok and it would be an add on. (Dont quote me though) (The wording for the app was the same in 2007.)

Talking with other pilots here none of us know what they are looking for when it comes to any postition. Many applied to be check airman and were told they were not experienced enough. Most had well over 5000 hours, 2000 in type and most of that as captains and were told they were not qualified?!?!?! AT A REGIONAL!!!

We have had some get hired at 1500 hours and others at 15000. We have had several get multiple internal recs and still get no calls while others have no recs and get calls. If you are lucky enough to figure it out pass it along. All of the current CP pilots want to know just as much as you do.

4000 total here with 2000 on the E170 and an internal rec. Furloughed NJA. Received the "thanks but no thanks e-mail." Amazing what it takes just to get an interview nowadays!!!
 
Hey RP170 when did you get the "No thanks email"? I'm in the same boat as you hours wise just don't have the 170 time I'm also NJA
 
Got it about 3 days ago. My internal rec. said that the CP told him it was because I had only worked at my 170 gig for 2.5 years and then left and went to NJA. Apparently you shouldn't leave a regional when making 35K per year to go to a fractional where you'll make 70K per year right off the bat in order to better your career and family???? Now they are afraid I'd leave Compass too quickly. There is no chance I'd leave before flowing to Delta. I could guarantee them that.

You'd also have to resign your NJA seniority number. Not that I think that's even going to be an issue in the future with the way things are going there. You'll most likely be at Delta before you'd have to worry about a recall at NetJets.

Hi.

Sometimes the HR dept does stuff that doesn't make sense that's for sure! Going to DAL in 3 years is very nice!

nobody hired at Compass today will be at DAL in 3 years.
4 years min.
only 25% of the compass pilots can flow to DAL in 12 month.

Also, its going to get a little rediculous if delta keeps hiring in the future. Compass will be a scary airline to fly on with all of the turnover. There will be no experience in the left seat when people are constantly leaving. Of course, every regional will be like this then.

That's unfounded. There will be no street captains, everyone will have ATP mins, everyone is typed (PIC) in the airplane. Every Captain will have at least 2 yrs as an FO. This is pretty good with repect to most regional experience levels.

You won't have that many 10 yr captains, but you will also not have the 350 hr wonders too....
