I am looking for some insight from current Compass pilots. I am currently flight instructing the last 500 hours of TT needed before ATP mins. I plan on applying to Compass a couple of months before I reach the magic number which will probably be April/May. The last three instructors at my place of employment went to Compass and are really enjoying it. Now all three had very different multi times when they were hired: 60, 25, and 33. Mr. 60 and Mr. 33 were hired without being told to build more multi time. Mr. 25 was told he HAD to have 50 hours multi before he could go to orientation. I am wondering what the metric is for deciding how much multi time each individual will need. I know Mr. 33 had no problem picking up the rest in the sim. I asked Mr. 33 about the multi time situation and he told me to "dig" at the interview and even went as far as to advise me to speak to the chief pilot about it. He thinks Mr. 25 did not ask any questions when they told him he HAD to go fly 25 more hours of multi time. I don't want to be a push over at the interview, but of course I don't want to dig myself out of the room and onto the street. Mr. 33 did his multi 141 and Mr. 25 was 61. I do not know if that was a factor in the decision.
Thanks for the help!!!
