Life at Compass

no kidding. I want it to just be a positive thing - are there any negatives that might come as a result of lightning upgrades? Besides lack of experience in the cockpit.

truth. Not specific to compass, but once regional upgrades start getting real quick is there a risk of street captains? Has that been a trend?

While street captains have been a thing in the past at other carriers, I don't think it would pop up here...unless things got really desperate.
 
There's plenty of senior FO's with the time waiting to upgrade. Some just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I fly with them all the time. Biggest comment "I wanted to be senior this summer."

I don't think they'll have any issues. Many of these above guys will upgrade right into 50-60% seniority.

Hey @juxtapilot and @Old Dominion Flyer how's commuting to reserve?

A United crew told me I'm two trips away from a 737 type rating(hooray jumpseating), and a Virgin America FA affectionately calls me "donut boy"(I bring donuts for the crew on my morning commute). I ran a clinic on section 25 of the CBA back when the Crashpad was full of Compass FOs.

That's not true anymore. There are a handful of senior FO's in MSP waiting, but that's not the case in LA. In my new hire class from 2/15, those guys are slated to go to upgrade this month and took the first upgrade they could. They were also bidding top 8 or so in LA on the FO side. They'll slide into about 80%+ out in LA. The 50%-60% ain't happening anymore.

Ahh, interesting. I know of one guy that *thought* he was going to slide into the 50-60 range. He was #3 or 4 I think? A good chunk of us are leaving in October/Nov so that'll free up some space at least. I think the company underestimated the attrition numbers by just a bit.
