I have every regional in the US calling me and had a class date at republic. You should hope your company is able to trick more people soon so the airplanes keep staffed.

A newly upgraded captain w/ only 1,000 121 SIC time, and maybe just over a year of total 121 airline experience being paired up with a brand new former CFI first officer w/ 0 hours of 121 experience.

Is anybody else besides me a little uneasy with the above scenario?

Does this guy realize there is a search function on APC to pull up all threads and posts made by FAAGoldSealCFI and see right through him and his trolling ways? Idiot.

You should have seen it back a decade ago. 1500 with 250. This is a step up today.

Some of us try to avoid commuting on certain airlines due to inexperience. I won't say which ones cus I don't want to get fired. Whoops I gave it away!

Someone in this thread wrote something that struck a chord in my mind. What are some indicative characteristics that someone could look at to gain an accurate idea of how upgrade time at a particular airline will speed up in the near future? Asking this as a layman, btw. Thanks.

Is the airline shrinking or growing. That might be one thing to look at.

Depends on the pilot. With a name like smacfum, did you go to ATP? If so, everyone you fly with is a single pilot, and the pilot is not you.

Compass pilots have nothing to prove to you. The right people find their way through the interview, new hire class and IOE.

I don't know what your deal is and what your beef is with Compass since you're painting the company in a negative light for whatever reason - did you flunk the interview? I hear it's a walk in the park nowadays compared to the previous format. If you go back 100 pages in the Compass thread you won't find many who don't highly recommend the company as a whole, let alone talk badly about it.

Anyway....your attitude truly sucks. Please don't come to Compass.
