No regrets here so far and I'm being honest. Great company.. The culture is good company morale majority of the company seems happy...Great airplane overall not bad routes just think we need more captains.. Fairly young pilot group and high attrition so everyone seems to be moving up fairly quickly.. This is my opinion and views others might have another view

This basically sums up my experience to over the past year.

I was there just over a year...no regrets at all and enjoyed all the crews I flew with.

I came from Mesa and this place blows Mesa out of the water. Sure there are some things here that are not a good or are different, but this is a great place to be. Even if the upgrades here came to a complete halt, I would be happy here in the right seat for a few years. Compass is a great place to work for sure!

Came from ExpressJet to Compass. Super quick upgrade for me, scheduling picks up the phone instantly, Dispatch (depending who you get) seems to be ahead of the game. Way better than XJT. Had a blast on the 4 day I just finished. Having young crews is great, almost no lifers...really enjoy it here at Compass.

Came from Republic and, although I missed the quick upgrade, I couldn't be happier. Much better culture than the other two regionals in was at.

Xjt to Compass has been great. I don't have to gear up for an argument when I call scheduling unlike every time I called them at xjt. They actually call you back if you have a request they can't answer right then or if your pairing cancels before your show. Training is better too.

Compass has it's issues (watch your pay stubs if you do trading), but I really couldn't be happier here. Probably the best regional to be at, but not worth making a career out of it.

What are upgrades projected to be at now for a new hire?

Heard approximately 18 months if you have no 121 you'll take about this time to get enough time to be eligible anyways. I feel like this number is never accurate at any company though because it's based on so many factors. What if most of our captains just keep leaving higher than projected then it will be sooner. Or if we get more flying it will take longer or if people stop leaving rapidly. With current rates I've heard 18-24 Max though
