While pay, QOL and upgrade movement are the most critical considerations, I hear the E175 is a real nice ride as well. I suppose if you are intent on building time and waiting for the majors to hire, you could do worse than flying the E175 for Compass - especially if you already have competitive times (but just waiting for your opportunity)...
QOL = sucks
upgrade movement = none
...but yeah, the E175 is a nice ride for what it's worth...

FWIW the 3/09 award had 3 CA vacancies (all MSP) and 9 FO's, bringing our "properly staffed" 312 head count to a woppingly massive insane 324 pilots...
HOLYSH|T now we'll get TWO days in between JM calls instead of ONE!!!

Yeah I like how their quasi-aggressive response to rampant junior manning was going to be 6 upgrades...and then they cut THAT in half due to a reduction of *25 hours!* What's the definition of insanity, again?
Was just in Puerto Vallarta for a few days and really enjoyed letting multiple calls from crew sked go to voicemail. They didn't even bother leaving a message. I considered picking up at some point just to hear the dissapointment in their voices when I told them where I was and how inebriated I was, but I wouldn't have put it past them to positive space me back in 12 hours!

Hey don't get me wrong, this place is still MUCH better than my old gig, and I consider myself EXTREMELY fortunate and blessed to be in the position I'm currently in!!! Especially seeing how others are on the street with nowhere to go.
That just doesn't change the fact that 324!=360

It is a great place to work and it is far better than my last airline, but in an email two weeks ago they claimed "our staffing model is is too complex to explain so just trust our judgement"... pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

We supposedly just had a bunch of people just get recalled to air tran plus a couple to jet blue. All junior. They will probably need to hire for that. Heard 1 probationary person fired for too many missed flight assignments.
