Yeah not much life at all, these next 2+ years of getting a $23,000 bonus is pretty much nothing. And after it's done? Well I'm sure that there will be plenty of pilots coming down the training pipe for them to hire, what with all the new commercial certificates being issued year after year so there will be no need to pay us more than $30 an hour after 2018. Yep, sounds like anyone's guess........

Please, my guess is it'll just be that much better with the rest of the industry finally trying to match Endeavor after almost 2 years. Money talks, and they are finally seeing that it gets bodies in seats, not just the promise of shiny new planes. We're headed in the right direction and it's a good thing for all of us.

As for rumors, $60/hr first year has been kicked around a lot lately. That wouldn't be too bad.
