On paper, its a great place, in reality, its just bad. We all wanted/want this place to work, but there is a true reason they cant keep pilots. Its sad really! But this is NOT a good place to work. You are NOT salaried . . if you dont work the "required days" then you DONT GET PAID! Even if it is there fault. The only way this place gets better is if 1) Management really wants to change (everything has shown they refuse) 2) pilots dont show up to class, and they are force to deal with better QOL and pay for pilots.
Also, just look them up on any travel review site, and ask yourself if you want to bank your career on this type of an organization?
But to each his/her own.
Lots to unpack there....
Pilots are salaried. You get paid regardless of any cancellations.
That said, their 121 schedule is overly optimistic and always has been. However, I’ll reiterate that pilots are paid regardless if they sit in the company provided hotels all week or fly all week. The check always came. Sometimes a day early, sometimes a day late, but it always came.
People complain of QOL probably haven’t worked at regionals elsewhere much. Via is easy to work for.
