-Eagle and Republic are offering 10K to join.
-Eagle rep was at a Expressjet new hire hotel offering 1K to jump ship.
So whats the deal out there from the regional angle on hiring and the future of these regionals to find qualified crew after August 2?
I mean really, 150K at Riddle to make 20K the first year after you get 1500 hours somehow. Who wouldn't jump at that?
Hello, I was just wondering, were you able to confirm that rumor about a number of pilots that are showing up for classes. Is expressjet having a problem getting people to apply for f/o interviews.
