Thank you Envoy, Republic, and Express jet for making the effort. PSA, you guys deserve the contract you're stuck with. A serious question to PSA guys, do you even get COLA raises at the top of the pay scale, or is that it? If the last raise you get as an FO stops at 4 years, at $30 whatever it is, you're going to have a hell of a time paying bills. I hear mom and dad's basement is nice this time of year.
If I see Envoy/Expressjet/Republic guys on an overnight the beer is on me.
well upgrade is 2 years here and dropping fast… no one should be stuck at 4 year pay scale unless you wanna be
Hate to break it to you, but it's unlikely it will ever be less than 2 years for newbies. You need 1000 hrs of 121 to upgrade. That will generally take a couple of years.
