13 AOS at one point. 4 due to MELs

The last 20 pages are cracking me up.

Ya'll got way better jokes than the Envoy threads. Except for maybe that 'Hardlemonade' guy over at Envoy. He's next level shock jock but hilarious.

Anyway, I've been reading you guys for the last year and I'm going to apply just because your forum is better.

Ok seriously, I've recently decided that the commute I would endure for Envoy might not be worth it. On the other hand I can commute directly from the regional airport(SGU) where I live to PHX or LAX. So finally getting to the point....
I would like to know your thoughts on same-day-commutable-trips with Compass if I arrive in LAX at (earliest) 0650 or PHX at 0745. Is there any such thing or would I always have to come in the night before?

(yes I'm aware that Compass may have a bit of a dumpster fire going on right now my other options are gojet(same alley, different dumptser fire) or a two leg commute for envoy *yuck*)

Plenty of trips with later starts, I would say more options out of LAX. You might occasionally have to come in a night prior tho, especially when you're junior. But the list is moving fast.

ThePlaneSaidSo

Yeah you’ll be good. There are times you might want/need to come the night before because you would only have one chance to make it by showtime day of, but you get 4 hotels a month. This place is pretty commutable

Just saw in another thread there’s a mid November hire that doesn’t have LOE until mid April but also someone saying they’re a January hire in IOE

Some people need additional training, others don’t

That's pretty unacceptable. I hope things get better, our new hires deserve better.

A shout out to new guys and gals I've flown with recently, very good pilots with good attitudes from all backgrounds. Good job to our recruiters too.

**I just ask that you don't land better than me on day 1, is that too much to ask??? It will continue to be a debrief item

Unfortunately I was paired with that guy, and ended up waiting 2.5 months for him to catch up. Scheduling didn't help.


Hopefully, we'll both finish up this week and move on to IOE.

achfly

I don't catch your meaning. Your training was held up waiting for another trainee?? Or are you talking about waiting to get on a training CA's schedule for IOE? or what?

I'm planning to apply at Compass and training timelines are a bit of a concern. Well, class start dates after interview anyway. Assuming I get the job...

It happens, you're paired with a partner and sometimes they need extra time so they'll delay both of you since the training dept doesn't want or have enough seat supports for you to go on solo with. Unfortunately we've always had an issue of not being efficient on the training schedule side so, without being disrespectful, a slower than normal partner could push your training schedule back significantly. It doesn't help that we only have 1 sim in MSP for LOEs.
