Our first year pay is around $45,000 ($500/wk for 6-8 weeks, 53x75x10ish). I read their total comp is $67,000, although the number I came up with was $55,000. Still better than ours. I admit I'm not familiar with their current or TAd work rules, but they can't be worse than ours can they?

How are we supposed to recruit qualified candidates when a regional airline offers better first year compensation and better health care, and now better hotels? I see a lot of mil pilots going to 9e now for their 121 experience so they can get a well paying job instead of coming here and sticking around. Am I the only one who sees how embarrassing it is that a CRJ200 operator has better starting pay than us?
