Pre-Covid it was a pretty good alternative to the regionals, but now you can go elsewhere to make more money while having a similar quality of life (if you live in base), and the option to fly your butt off to build time if you like (not an option here)
JSX is not a regional. It’s a pt135 medium/large jet operator. Those salaries typically go for 70 to 130k+. You probably won’t get what you’re asking for if you compare it to a regional. It’s true, the daily flights are “regional” but it’s nowhere near regional QOL or branding, it’s its own thing. With that said, today’s call sent a pretty bad message to the pilot group. I would imagine a bunch more updated their stuff tonight.
