They also have a lot of trips in Denver that end on the last day at 9am or 10 am they just then pick up another turn at 300% and get done at 2 pm instead. They both said they will easily make over 120k this year. Say what you want they are paying some big boy regional money at G7 to all flight crews regardless of FO or Captain.
"Full pay till the last day" was a frequent mantra that I used to hear at a prior airline. I believe that G7 will seize operations at the end of the summer. They don't seem to have any long term plans. The DO left for a place that is not a great place either. They took a navy non-pilot guy who became a pilot after leaving the navy to FO at TSA, then Capt/Check Airman at G7, then chief pilot, then DO. The last 2 steps in a few months. They don't want to pay a guy with experience who knows how to do things to be the DO or they couldn't get one.
People who are there will probably be in class at another regional in the fall. That's my best guess.
