Question for current Compass pilots. I'm transitioning from military and trying to decide if I want to go to regionals or take a desk job instead and would like specific feedback from current Compass aircrew, thanks.

What is a typical month schedule like for FO? For Capt? For the 11 days off/month, how do they break that up, I.e. 1 day/week, 3 days in a row etc.

Delta AE just released. It shows 100 positions that should be open after the bid. Hopefully this means more hiring for delta which in turn means compass will need another 40 guys or so.

On reserve they have to give you at least one stretch of 4 days off in a row. Rest of the month is mostly 5 on 2 off, but its pretty easy to get longer or shorter work blocks if you need.

Thanks.

For a new FO, any estimate oh how long I'd be on reserve?

Also what is opportunity to earn more than the $20K for 1st yr pay?

Any truth to this and not flamebait.

" A Compass Airlines flight attendant, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA-CWA), was terminated on Thursday after publicly revealing she qualified for foods stamps. Despite a full-time schedule, flight attendant Kirsten Arianejad was recently featured in a local television interview announcing that she had been approved for food stamps in order compensate for her low wages.

Decent odds. Everyone will move up 60 numbers or more this fall and winter. If you move up quick and get a line you can credit up to 95 hrs a month.

Look at the news video. They couldn't touch her on her comments about her pay or financial condition. She did give a few negative comments about the maintenance of the aircraft. I would bet that is the reason she caught the ire of the company. Of course you won't hear that from the union.

I missed the call to schedule an interview. Do they just move on to other pilots who answered their phones? Did I doom myself?
