Friend of mine has been an FO at a regional for two years and if he took a Captain position at GIA, he would take a pay cut......imagine that, he would take a pay cut if he took a captain position at GIA. Pathetic I tell you.....PATHETIC......serious race to the bottom
Don't want to pay a $24,000.00 hit pro-rated? Stay the two years. Your friend makes more at a regional than our first year Captains? Well tell him to stay where he's at. He'll upgrade, eventually in like what 3-5 years? then another couple of years to get the majors tpic time. In the mean time, we (bottom feeders - yea right) upon reaching 1500 hrs with this company total time will have upgraded, made captain, flew our 1000 hours and moved on to other things. Really perhaps if you and your friend took time to find out things for yourself and realize we are not the old gulfstream then maybe you could come to a fair and objective conclusion rather than listening to gossip.
We have a guy who did come over from the other regional with a five year upgrade. He plans on making Captain as soon as he gets his 100 hours. Our time varies, but when we get 1500 total time we are all going to bid Captain. Best of luck at the regional your at upgrading that fast.
