For those saying PSA is basically wasting money on RTP vs more $$ for those on property is a cop out. Most all the regionals have or will have an RTP program or flight school/colleg program agreement. That’s the state of the industry as a whole and it’s disingenuous to say your not making more because someone outside the “traditional” route came to 121
Not knocking the RTP guys. All the ones from my class are great guys, and great pilots. I don’t have any ill feelings towards them at all, it’s too good of a deal to pass up. It’s the same feeling we have about the low key extra bonus we were hearing about for DECs. There’s just a lot of money being thrown outward while we are getting paid well short of industry average.
It just all stems from the same broken record issue that is stated on here day in and out. Communication from people who should be communicating that are not.
