I’ve always said it’s a decent regional to work for, even after I left. Do they have issues? Yep. Show me a regional that doesn’t.
If they Don’t like it, leave.
For guys looking to actually build time and not sit wasting away on reserve, and to be treated better than at most places, it’s a good gig.
Now it’s $55k starting pay for FO’s not including per diem, benefits, housing.
Other places advertise like $76k including all that crap. They provide 4 hotels a month on average. Via provides housing every night for commuters. Do the math on that wise guy. It’s a value well over $100k. Then add in the real airline tickets to/from work. That’s another $10k-$12k easily.
Now, if you live in base, you aren’t getting those extra perks. It’s salary and actually building hours instead of sitting on reserve.
Pick your poison. Get your hours. Move on.
There’s worse places to do it.
