I think someone's sarcasm detector is inop.

What's a guy have to do to get noticed by Compass? I have received invites by just about everyone else but honestly, just interested in Compass since I live on the W. Coast. And, isn't QOL what we all say is the priority? I'm 1 1/2 from LAX and could sit on reserve until whenever if I had to until my turn. And I notice that candidates with both less and more experience are getting picked up. Without beating up an old man too bad, what's the secret? Thanks in advance.

If the mount goes on the chart holder, where do you write down your clearances?
I can't pinpoint a good spot now to leave scratch paper for taxi clearances, route amendments, holding instructions etc.

You're hand? The instrument panel with a sharpee?

:)

Go to a job fair and meet them in person. There is a chief pilot there, and one or two of the interview pilots. Are you current? Do you know anyone at Compass? I believe they will be at the next job fair April 23 - LAS - Go to it.

I saw Aerocrew too in April and Women in Aviation.

I am current, I don't know anyone at Compass. Was hoping to make something happen a little sooner but I will consider the LAS fair. Thank you!

1) do you have any check ride failures?
2) do you have a 4 year degree?
3) Is your criminal history clear over the past 10 years?
4) is all your info up to date on your application? Such as a your medical, passport, etc all having the correct date and year input on file. You would be surprised how many people have the wrong year listed.

A problem with number 3 or 4 could easily disqualify you.
Having a check ride failure or no degree by itself will not disqualify you, however both will.

I believe criminal history goes back indefinitely, in the DOJ/FBI database. What types of convictions would bar an applicant from compass, aside from the TSA dicsqualifiers?

You should be good to go, assuming you have recent flight experience in the past 6 months. The only thing I can say is be as patient as possible. I would also do a complete review of your application, to ensure there are no errors, and that every section is completed correctly. Other than that, there is not much else I can tell you. You would most likely have the qualifications to be hired, which is why I would double check your online application for errors.
