What was said that made it sound like that? You can PM if you don't want to post it.

understand and appreciate the fact that Compass has "given ATPs and PIC types since day 1".....what I don't understand is why a highly experienced (ATP qual, jet PIC typed, turbo prop & turbo jet exp, TPIC) age 21/22 pilot is currently excluded by some airlines based solely on R-ATP that is "age limited" only.....something airlines should review and consider.

Do you have access to the Nov Conference call posted on the Intranet? Listen starting at about 19:50 through about 24:00. It sounds like he's softening the blow of an announcement. He doesn't come out and say anything specific but that he will have a decision made within the next week or so. They're obviously seriously considering it and have done research and analysis of opening a new base geared toward the west coast operations.

will age 21 pilot with 1800 TT, 1000 multi, 800 turbojet, 200 TPIC, turbo jet PIC type, R-ATP, be considered for Compass FO position?

Either way, my money is a 30-40 crew SFO base, with no bases closing.

I believe the last vacancy bid didn't have any new FO positions listed, but new hires filled the slots that the upgrading FO's vacated. There are classes running right now, and the FO openings come from where the upgrading FO's leave from.

Somebody did the math that there have been 24 awarded so far...another bid for 6 came out today (for February bidding). So that would be 30 as of right now. The estimates I have heard is from 115 to 140 captain upgrades are planned total to be done through the spring/summer.
