I just wonder when things like this will happen for mid size jets and have the pay come up too?
Actually, we have been typing qualified pilots in the metro and BE1900 for a while in locations that are hard to staff.
The $12000 bonus is brand new as of last week. For now it is just over the next year. The year is broken into 3 four month periods. Pilots who are qualified and on line at the beginning of each period and stay through the end of the period (1 May - 31 Aug, 1 Sep - 31 Dec, 1 Jan - 30 Apr) will get a bonus check. The amount is based on the aircraft they are qualified in. For metros it is $4000 per period.
