Life at Compass

California Tax Law said:
Airline Employees
The wages of nonresident flight personnel (e.g.pilot, copilot, flight attendant) are not taxable by California unless more than 50% of the individual’s scheduled flight time is in California.
If more than 50% of the scheduled flight time is in California, wages are apportioned to California based on the ratio of time spent in California to the total scheduled flight time.
Flight personnel who are California residents are taxed on all wages received regardless of where the flight time is spent.

So take it for what it's worth. Consult a tax person in Cali if you have any major questions.
 
I'm interested in working for Compass, but I have a few questions about the company. If someone here who currently flies for them wouldn't mind answering them, please PM me. Thanks!
 
How early is too early when applying at Compass? I have a training contract with my current company that I would prefer not to break. I only have a few more months left on the contract.

Go ahead and apply. Put down a start date after your current contract ends. Update your app regularly. Be honest in the interview and tell them you want to finish your current contract. We're hiring into a pool right now and classes are planned to start again in late summer. The timing will probably work out great.

I applied and I had six months before I could start. I'm still five months away but they offered me an interview, just need to find time off and schedule it.

As was recommended before, try and get your soonest interview as they're hiring for a pool and you probably won't get a class date sooner than late September/early October anyways.
 
Is Compass allowed to fly for a different mainline partner? Or does Delta have the handcuffs on you ladies much as they have Pinnacle - oh whatever, cuffed up?

I had the same issue - originally applied at the beginning of the year (early Feb), but am under contract at my current job until the end of June. They were pretty nice about accomodating for it and said I could interview anytime between now and then at my convenience. Interviewing next week - sounds like a pool is going again told that class date likely a couple of months out - which luckily works well with my timeframe.

Pretty much everything and anything has been covered earlier in the thread, but what did you want to know that hasn't been?

Better to share the knowledge (well, at least what passes for knowledge :-) ) with the group at large. So, ask away.
 
I put my app in about a week and a half ago, got the email for the interview about 4 days ago. It seems like they are really trying to fill that pool up! I've scheduled my interview there next month. So far have been going over the willflyforfood and aviationinterviews gouges, does anyone else have any additional study information for the interviews? I really don't want to mess this up.
