Skawid8,
what makes it recruiting talk points? Is the information I have provided invalid?
yes b737 guys aren’t flying much if at all. That being said based off of rig pay (and I’m being conservative at 70 hrs a month on average) would you not say that the statements above are accurate?
on that note check out the regional forums and see how much junior guys are flying. Endeavor has 5 months reserve waiting for ya.
b737 captain upgrade is now in 2020. Granted you’ll need the turbine time…
how do you figure it’ll be faster? Regional guys are sitting reserve. Flying isn’t forecast to reach 2019 levels until maybe 2025!
regionals lately also have been dropping like flies. We’ve had major regional pilot migration to atlas. How many of them have returned to the regionals after? :O
the environment today according to IATA is gonna stay for at least the next few years.
as for the people leaving…most are year one or two guys who have, in my opinion, either realized it’s not for them or have moved up to FedEx, UpS, United etc
sooo at worst you leave atlas with a Boeing type rating and more money in your pocket (no bonus bond here) and you go to a major….or you stay at one of the most diversified outfits on the planet, get a heavy type and a job that’ll pay 300k a year working AT most part time.
Hmmm
Ps: training is $1600 + $1900 for perdiem so = $3500
Do you know how much regional training pay is? It’s not $3500 a month. AND after 4 months you get paid FO pay. I remember training at my regional having lasted 6 months. Guess if they had the same deal…
