Life at Compass

It takes out an insurance policy on having a known time in training?

I know a few classes we were held long as we needed 8hrs training in that subject.

I was poking fun at use of the word "insure", when from the context I believe you meant to use the word "ensure".

Ensure is that drink I have with breakfast. Is there another? 8)

Guy uses a lot of fluff. Hope he flys better than he writes.

I personally know Jeremy. He was my ACP when I was at YX. In the the world of suck that is YX he was a bright spot. A stand up guy who handled any issue I had with dignity and respect and no BS. When I called him to tell him I was resigning he actually CONGRATULATED me and said he didn't blame me for wanting to leave. Believe me when I tell you guys we could have done much, much worse.

Wait. What did I miss? Is Jeremy coming to CP? Has he already?

Is it me or is anyone else worried that management got to hand pick our new chief pilots from outside sources?

I was thinking that too. "New-hire employee has yet to tell his employer." Says MW. Hmmm.

Why not hire a guy/gal who's flown the line HERE at Compass? Unless nobody really applied for the job.

I think the pool of applicants at Compass is pretty dry... There's a lot of requirements those guys need to meet, and not many of ours meet them.

I wonder if @L-16B is superior enough to meet those requirements? What about @Autothrust Blue?

At least he has a pacer and not a tri pacer......

Wasn't @Autothrust Blue Prop Trash Previously? I was too so I doubt compass would hire us.

They hired me.

Whoa whoa whoa there are plenty of former prop trash here thank you very much.

Even a few prop, freight trash guys sneaked in. Well, at least one.

Props are for boats

Y'all flew easy props.

@amorris311 all hail the mighty beech pilots. Everyone else sucks.

Yeah, like props that have nose gears...unlike the actual challenging props, that require dancing on the rudders and an artist's touch on the yoke just to keep from wrecking between touchdown and the ramp. The ones that require serious attention to operation of both the pistons and props to keep from grenading them on the way up or down.

Yeah...not the easy stuff.

I know a few folks who flew the DC-3 in an airline environment. They said it was easy.

I'm sure it had nothing on the Beech 1900, though.
