According to the pilots, they are understaff. Management thinks they are not. I've heard they are interviewing people for a pool, but there is no word for an actual new hire class in the near future.

For anyone at Compass, can you advise on QOL, reserve life, the management, schedueling. I am looking into a putting a resume. And if you commute how is it to Compass? If you want PM with all the "real details" of the company.
