Whether or not it will be honored or holds any validity, here is what Compass provided to me when I asked to see the guaranteed interview policy:
Delta Air Lines, Inc. will offer competitive candidates a guaranteed pilot interview provided the candidate has met the following requirements:
· Candidate was hired by a Delta connection carrier using a high standard testing protocol. This testing protocol will be evaluated periodically by Delta Air Lines, Inc. to ensure its efficacy.
· Candidate has signed a release permitting Delta Air Lines access to all work records on file at Compass Airlines.
· Candidate must receive a recommendation from Compass Airlines management.
· Candidate meets all current Delta Air Lines pilot hiring requirements.
· Candidate has been a pilot at Compass Airlines for a minimum of three years.
· Candidate maintains a solid employment record during his/her employment at Compass Airlines.
Additionally, competitive candidates will be considered in order of seniority after the most junior flow pilot has been offered an opportunity to flow.

Highly doubt this sticks with Compass doing the AA flying now... Delta most likely will conveniently 'forget' all about this.

I think this model is probably what will be standard with Delta Connection carriers in order to help them attract new hires.

I know compass is one of the top regionals to go to and I'm currently trying to decide if I should go to Compass or Skywest. I know Compass offers a much quicker upgrade time and nice planes then Skywest, but comparing contracts it seems like Skywest has a much better one. What are the perks of working for Compass other then quick upgrades?
I want to be based in the west coast so that's why both airlines appeal to me. Any thoughts would be very helpful. Thanks!

So heard that half of the LAX-SFO Shuttle is going to the 717 in June.

Honestly it should come down to who offers you a job first. I wouldn't say Compass has nicer airplanes as Skywest is taking deliveries of brand new E170s. Either one is a decent regional, and I don't think you could lose either way.

Delta will always use CPZ as a test bed to enter new markets with only 76 seats until they decide to throw 110 seats at it.

Skywest doesn't have a contract, it has rules put out by management on how things are done. If you don't like it, then you quit or get fired.

If LAX is a desired domicile, its the junior base at Compass and should stay that way for a long time. Other than that its MSP and DTW for domiciles. SkyWest has a lot of western domiciles, but most tend to be senior depending where and when.
