What's going on at Compass Air?

[ACL65PILOT]

CPS is 30% cheaper than anyone else. There are many reasons for that.

DAL did just change the application parameters. We did go from not accepting to accepting. We do not have a hiring dept per say, but I would venture to bet that the cog will get fired up and we will see 300-400 positions created here at DAL in the next 12 months. After 2010 they will constantly need pilots so I see that once we start we will not stop hiring unless something drastic happens.

I strongly suggest that anyone that has a desire to work here, get their app updated, LOA requests sent out, and completed. We could see the first invites in six to eight weeks.

Acl,

Stop it! Don't you know that the majors will never hire again. And if they do it will only be fighter pilots, Capt's. kids and minorities And no need to polish up that resume, get a little interview prep or even some sim time. Just go in cold and come back to FI and piss and moan about how you never wanted to work for a major anyway, and that they only hired the losers and weirdos from(insert here) airline.

With that said, whoever can get hired at the beginning of the next hiring wave should experience significant seniority progression throughout their career based on attrition numbers alone. Its going to get interesting here in the near future.

This thread should be shut down. There are a lot of factually incorrect statements floating here...

If this were applied to every thread on Flightinfo, this forum would cease to exist.

it will be a cold day in hell before an hour of Compass block is cheaper than an hour of 9E block....keep dreamin...

Well, if this bit of hiring at DL is true, this is good news for Mesaba as well. Maybe it'll slow our furloughing down and reverse the trend.

Might want to fact check that, but if 9E wants to reduce costs, go for it.

CPS is a shell corporation that has minimal costs attached to it.

Well Maybe? It depends on how delta runs the classes. (If they Hire)

If they run a class of 20 once a month all the position would be compass until 25% of the compass list was gone in a rolling 12 months.

If they run a class of 40 twice a month still only 20 of those positions would be compass, some mesaba and some off the street.

It really just depends on how they would run classes if they do indeed end up hiring.

Compass could only lose 80ish per rolling 12 months

In all seriousness... Can CP even hande losing 20 captains a month and the hiring and upgrading that would need to happen to support that kind of attritian? Not to mention all the while keeping the operation running reliably. It just doesn't seem realistic.

JUST TO clarify, not LOA's, LOR's

They could but it is very inefficient, and probably better just to include them in the DAL operation.

I'm sure that no Compass pilot would complain!

 

[lowlycfi]

Too late for that, reference DAL MEC decision.

CP kicked to the curb

Why did Moak kick CP to the curb? They didn't want a merged CP,CMR Mesaba, group tied to the NW/DAL MEC. Just a thought.
