Let me try to explain. Right now the company has offered us FO's a raise. The only significant raise was to the first year group. From 23 to 30. Everyone else after that got $3 more per hr. Our applicants are few right now. This was a knee jerk reaction to help recruit people. The companies previous offer for the FO group was significantly LESS!

I have been here for a year now and will be getting off of first year pay next month. It has been very difficult to make ends meet this past year but you have to start somewhere. What people on here are saying is accurate and complete. I understand the need to have a job but be forewarned.

There are other places out there that have WAY better work rules and quality of life. Here you will be on reserve for an indefinite period. I have no idea when I will get off this pergatory called reserve. I have know people to be on reserve for 4 years because of the downturn in the economy.
There are bad things about every Jon. Make an informed decision. I wish I wouldn't have taken the first one that came my way. If I had waited just a bit longer I could have gone to Skywest last year. Oh well. Read the website that was put together. It is very good. Good luck!
