Our pay, benefits, and schedule are not competitive in any way and management does not seem to care. FO's at regional airlines are making almost as much as our captains. Where the industry stands today, I don't know why any one would want to come work at AirShare. I think its time we start talking about unionizing if we want to see any change.

Pilots have done this to themselves. They will basically fly for nothing. What needs to happen is for people to leave companies that have poor pay, poor schedules, etc, etc, and eventually, if management wants to stay in business they will have to improve the conditions. I'll bet they don't charge less for their services.

I will predict the future. staffing levels to go down by at least 6 more pilots not just captians in Dec.

Meanwhile, 121 terms and conditions get better and better. Even the regionals are looking competitive in comparison to what some 135 and frax operators are offering. Who knew that Piedmont would offer a first year pilot nearly $60K (and then a $20K retention bonus if you stay one year) to fly right seat in a Dash 8?
