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.
Currently, there are pilots having to beg for full paychecks. You are right, if locally based, it is a great QOL . .really, really good. But there is still no schedule, and now because of the increase in supplemental flying, crews are "on call" , which is not what folks signed up for when getting on board.
This place could be the greatest diamond in the rough, but unfortunately, ownership refuses to allow that to happen. This is why SO many great crews leave every single year.
