This is a good example of how reserve use to look before HQ moved to MSP. Now that there are all new schedulers in MSP (all the experienced ones quit instead of moving from IAD to MSP) things have changed dramatically for the worse. The situation will probably improve when more pilots come onboard and the schedulers start observing the contract due to the settlement of numerous grievances, but for the near term I would expect to see more junior manning below min days off, calls in the middle of the night for notification, more airport reserve shifts, and attempts to call you out under your 2 hr callout.

Some of the new schedulers are former NWA who didn't move to ATL. My experience, they were some of the best I ever worked with.
Yup. The DC9 afternoon scheduler went to Compass. She's a great gain Compass guys. She'll help you out whenever she can.

Relatively new Compass Training Scheduler is ex-NWA. She is first-rate...sometimes cannot accommodate requests, but only with good reasons. One can only ask that best effort to accommodate requests be made, which is how she operates. If she is an example of ex-NWA, those personnel were quite fortunate under her tutelage; in my previous life, I dealt with some really BAD-attitude schedulers. Sam the Trainer.

Benefits
Compass folks,
How are the benefits? What are the premiums for a family plan? Do you have dental and is there orthodontic coverage?
How soon do they get you into cass? I wonder if I would be able to nonrev right away if hired being that I've already paid my $50?
Thanks
J

No offense but she is not as good as Gary. He always took request and never had a problem accomodating. He also knew the contract. She has yet to learn.

Are there confirmed classes starting in Jan, Feb and so on? I'm assuming the classes in Dec. have been filled.
Any recent newhires on here, how long before you got a call for an interview? Did you have an internal rec.?
