Envoy did trim down the hiring last year, while Republic and Endeavor overhired. End result? The two highest paying regionals are next to impossible to get into in a timely fashion, so our classes keep being full - thanks flow and the upcoming doubling of the 175 fleet! - while the pay stays the same. Genius move, whether intended, or driven by the DECs newhire numbers.
SkyWest bumped their pay, and so did ExpressJet (congrats to them, btw, on the yesterday's and next class numbers!), so let's see how it impacts our hiring. Both have bases in TX, both have ORD. SkyWest, however, is offering classes mid-summer as of now, I heard?
