That may be. However for some, year 1 at Compass would be a paycut from unemployment. For me at least, 3 years flying 121 is worth more than $22/hr or whatever it is.

In previous posts of his I believe he has mentioned his job is in Africa and he has to be over there for extended periods of time. I'm guessing he would like to be home more with his family.

Take this for what it is worth, but Compass right now is in an intense competition with Mesa, TSA, Go-Jet, Colgan and CommutAir to see who could be the worst

Hi!
Yeah, I am in NBO, on what was supposed to be a 165 day trip, which now has been extended indefinitely. I think it will end up at about a 270 day trip, which is rather long.
It will help me to get on newer equipment, and at Compass I can upgrade to captain in about a year, and then go to DAL, or I could leave if I had to and fly on a great commuting contract in Asia.
My best pilot friend is at Compass, after being laid off from Spirit (via TSA), and he is liking it, overall.

And on that paycut from unemployment, you are expected to get paid 18.5 hours for a 30 day ground school and have to pay for you own housing during ground and simulator training in MSP. That's worst than Mesa from what I'm hearing from a few guys. At least Mesa provide a dorm like housing during training.

While I agree that Compass is a good place to work, I also have to agree that when it comes to new hires, Compass is probably the worst airline today.
Low pay for 30 days, no hotel for training, no plane ticket for training, first year pay lasts 14-15 months. Is there anyone else out there with that combination?

Hi!
My buddy and I were at Trans States.
He is at Compass now and likes it (he is an FO). He did NOT like Trans States. He was also at Spirit.

The worst and ONLY???

No. Because no one else is hiring...
