I remember that one. That’s when John from HPN made an appearance haha.
I will say this. I speak to many pilots not only from flying with them but pilots calling me about our pay issues. I feel particularly bad for the FO’s and I want them to be paid much better, but pay needs to go up on all scales. It doesn’t need to be what these regionals are paying but it does need to be quite substantial. We do have a good QOL. There are things that can be better here but a pay increase is due for us. I do enjoy my time here flying the line but I’ve even told Flight Ops Management and the CEO the reasons why people are leaving prematurely. It could be avoided but like Burner Pilot & Minepza said, pay would help retain people. We won’t keep pilots as long as they want unfortunately because of pay and retirement.
