FWIW, if you use FC View, your February schedule will now load into it if you refresh.

Yeah my February schedule is now loaded in FLICA. Weird. I wonder if that will happen every month.

I got hired by Skywest in the mean time so afraid if Compass calls me back I will have to choose between the two. Any input on how long it would take to get to SEA after training?
Regarding what you read, that information would be true, if it was posted to that website in June 2017. Compass is apparently planning to train zero new pilots in the next 3-4 months.

If you're in the 'hiring pool', I'd expect a phone call at the end of April or sometime in May. It appears to me CPZ is not by any means planning on beginning training for any new hires in until May. They are severely overstaffed with pilots (also 100 FAs overstaffed they told me at orientation).

Also, at least 15 new hires in front of me want SEA, the most junior guy to get SEA just got it with an October hire date, and who knows how many more in LAX are sitting on a SEA bid waiting to go. At my interview they said "New hires go to LAX and SEA and bidding SEA is easy in training, reserve time is 2-3 months in LA... etc.). Maybe that was true in 2015/2016, but these 6 planes adversely affected newhire QOL more than you'd think, and SEA seems to be shifting towards becoming a senior base.

That said, if you do choose CPZ and wait, if you get a class in the summer then you won't feel the above effects that much, as hiring will continue underneath you. Not a bad deal at all. However, by the time CPZ calls you in for class, you probably could have been flying for a month at SkyWest and have 60-80 names underneath you on their seniority list.

TL;DR: It's a relatively unfortunate time to be a newhire at CPZ, but won't be so in 6 months. Also, SEA is not easy to get into right now. Lastly, disclaimer, I'm in training and know nothing but what I've heard around the training department.

You can still get the same exact info for your logbook from Flica by selecting your January schedule. You'll have the correct in and out times, tail numbers, and crew names.
