Not my work but reposting from a friend!-

I suppose Southern Air 737 New Hires will be tempted by our CBA. $61.22/hr @ 61 hours maximum. = $44,0000 a year. Plus a commute to CVG with only a few jump seat options. A CVG jump seat is a rare jewel in the industry. Delta closed a crew base, ASTAR closed a crew base, ABX reduced a crew base, ATI reduced a crew base. Unfortunately, Cincinnati is not a home sellers dream. So, lots and lots of commuting pilots.

Regional Airlines are Offering Signing and Retention Bonuses to Pilots
Jul 26 paul
The acute shortage of pilots qualified to fly for the airlines is causing regional airlines to offer huge signing bonuses to pilots. Airlines are offering substantial incentives to their pilots to stay at that airline and not leave for other airlines. Comparisons of these incentives are shown in the table below.


The table also shows the effect of the incentives on beginning pay for newly hired first officers. Incentives such as Endeavor’s 4-year Pilot Retention Program also pay dividends well past the beginning of a new pilot’s career.
Flying for the airlines has always been one of the most desirable careers available, and now the airline industry is beginning to make the career more attractive and attainable. Explore aviation as a career choice and you will see that the return-on-investment is the best of any career available today.
One way to make that critical investment in an aviation career a successful one is to obtain the most efficient and time-proven Airline Career-path flight training offered today. When your career depends on it choose ATP, the proven provider of pilots the airlines prefer to hire.
