Compass Airline intel?

Same thing happened to me...
6900 total
1500 PIC
5280 SIC
5545 Part 121
5756 Multi eng
5545 Jet
2 type ratings
Received the "impressive but, no thanks" letter too. I'm about to be furloughed from a major and one of the questions on the online app was "are you willing to relinquish your seniority from any other airline" Since I'll have recall rights I said, "no". Don't know how much that weighed on their decision, but oh well. I was just being honest.

Good luck in the future.

Honesty is respectable, but why would Compass want to hire someone who by refusing to give up a number basically said, "I need a job and you are the only one hiring, but I plan on leaving as soon as my better company calls me back" ?

CPS does have a training contract that is 12K if you leave in the first year, prorated at 1K per month over the first year. The training contract is in the CBA, so you don't actually sign anything, but you agree to it since it's in the ALPA CBA. 1 year goes by pretty quickly, imho.
The seniority list in stagnant right now, but I think you'll see some swift movement over the next 2 years. I don't believe the new DAL will furlough and in about 1 year, the first batch of CPS guys can flow. The flow will have 100 CPS guys leave per year (assuming everyone takes it). The new DAL can get 18 more 76 seat aircraft.
There is some rumor/discussion on NWA fighting for seniority numbers for CPS pilots, but don't hold your breath.
A great company to work for. Pay and work rules leave alot to be desired, but thank the NWA MEC or count your luck stars you have an airline job, whichever camp you want to associate with.
Best of Luck.

I turned my stuff into Compass two weeks ago. Received an e-mail saying they wanted a resume and cover letter and to fill it out on the compass website. I meet and surpass all their requirements. Do I call them to check up on the status of my application so they know I am interested even though they say no phone calls on the app?
