Sure, we don't have the HIGHEST PAY for a regional airline, but so what? It's not the lowest. We have 75hr guarantee, and a lot of reserve guys that I've talked to on the B1900 fly closer to 90hrs, by choice. A few guys this past month have flown 102+hrs. That right there is more than most regionals.

All I'm saying is lets not get drunk on Kool Aide and shout from the hill tops how great it is... especially when the person is fresh off IOE. Silver is what it is. Not bad for some, pretty okay for others and horrible for a few. All those variations are pretty much tied back to personal situations and goals in the aviation industry. Yes the company has some issues, but name one that doesn't.
Lets just keep it in perspective and spread complete falsehoods on the internet to a minimum.
