I think WU/Gama is a great opportunity considering the growth. The planned growth in membership will require many more pilots. That said, with regionals like PSA, Envoy and Piedmont offering $60K to start in the right seat as well as a legacy airline flow, Gama's starting salary and benefits seem less compelling. 121 flying isn't for everyone, but it certainly is a lot more attractive these days if you can find a pilot base location that works.

Bottom line: if WU/Gama wants to attract and retain pilots, compensation will have to increase to achieve its own growth targets...
