Life at Compass

Any of you have email accounts dissapear? IT department told me multiple accounts have stopped working or disappeared.
Not receiving any company email in the mean time
 
Newbie Orientation Day questions:

1) Any suggestions on hotels near the Pan Am Training Center?
2) Will suggested hotels offer a van ride to the Training Center in the morning?
3) Roughly when will the day be over?
4) Do most folks Uber/Taxi to MSP from Pan Am?

Thanks!

I personally stayed at the Hampton Inn down the road; they picked me up from the airport and also shuttled me to the training center. I've heard the Eagan Holiday Inn honors some discounts if you mention you're with Compass as it's often used by the company but when I went, it was often full.

We finished around early to mid pm if I recall (it has been a while...); I only remember it was enough time to get to MSP and head home.

You can maybe group up with your class mates and Uber but otherwise, most of the hotel shuttles are accustomed to us requesting the shuttle and a drop off direct to the airport.

Welcome aboard.

Anyone else have info on this? My email isn't working and am waiting on OE schedule, not optimum timing.

I clearly am already not thinking like a captain, am i... :)

I was going to make a separate post but since I am here... the sit down with the CP's (JS and DR) in CELL class was very informative. They offered to provide rumor control and I almost thought it would be insulting to bring up the rumors of a career progression opportunity at Southwest as it just didn't seem plausible. However, JS sat there right in front of us and said that we are close to finalizing a deal with SWA for a guaranteed interview of sorts. They were close to signing it earlier in the year and SWA HR put a hold on the deal as they were concerned that we don't have an HR department. So they want to come to headquarters and see the operation/interview process/etc before they commit to a deal like that. Not holding my breath but good to see someone is trying. Delta/American put any of our guaranteed interview requests "on ice" for a bit due to various reasons.

Seattle is not closing, it just got to about "3 times the size it needed to be, thats all"

Everything else was pretty mundane. Staffing models are aggressive, large fluctuations in flight hours assigned from codeshares month over month plus large fluctuations in attrition through summer/fall contribute to fat/short/fat/short staffing. They count on 15-20 a month to leave. They interviewed 9 last week and took 1, so its less of the fog-a-mirror-requirements to get hired right now and more still looking for quality candidates.

Might remember more later..
 
@PropSettin' I talked with IT on the phone twice and they told me they are working on a fix and that this has happened to multiple people. I havent had an email account in over a week now. I advised the LAX CP as well.
 
Anyone has been interviewed recently ? Im little bit nervous. Do you guys recommend study the Sheppard Air App ? It will be my first airline interview

FWIW the app on my iPhone has continued to work, logging in from a computer, not so much.

I called them today and they said that my old email never migrated to the new system so they were switching it over, supposed to work tomorrow.

I did yesterday and was successful. Three of us interviewed and we were all nervous about the written as well. They didn't tell us our scores but said that we all did really good. For that test, I just read the Turbine Pilot's Manual and skimmed through parts of the Everything Explained book and Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators. Use the study guide they sent you. No need to use the sheppard air app or anything fancy. If you want the job, just study.

It was also my first airline interview so I know the feels, man. Good luck!!!

If I catch any of you homo's walking around without your god damn hat on, I'll kill you. If you are not wearing the uniform blazer while in the public view, your a god damn disgrace to the uniform you're not wearing not to mention an embarrassment to our code share partners. They will be ridiculed at the shareholders meeting and told they can't keep their Compass bitches in line. Have some respect for the code share! the code share the doesn't care weather you can pay off those student loans and refuses to pay you a decent wage.
