Compared to Skywest and Compass we have:
-Lower pay, lower min guarantee
-no signing bonus
-no commuter hotels
-no daily min guarantee
-no leg by leg cancellation pay
-no jets
-no long call
-high STD payments
-$700 uniforms
-1 year reserve for new hires, perpetual endless reserve as captain upgrade
What we DO have but are giving away for free to the company after this TA passes:
-Awesome SAP bidding
-Highest 76 jet rates
If you are considering coming here thinking you will fly a jet, you WONT unless you get here after Feb 2017. You will be assigned the Q400 until then and the seat lock is 4 years. You will upgrade before the seatlock is over. You will never hold jet captain seniority, ever (unless you want to wait 15 years.)
Maybe you'll get here just in time for our next round of concessions in 2018.
