Tell that to the regionals who are offering 100's of thousands of dollars to get those low time pilots. The landscape has changed significantly over the past 10 years. The whipsaw model is no longer viable. The majors are hiring like never before. The pandemic only served to accelerate the pilot shortage. We have long time captains leaving my airline to go to the majors. The low balling strategy of the past will not work.
I agree. ABX seems to be losing guys faster than we’re replacing them. Hearing people recommend guys to get hired and they just get turned down. We can find guys, but ABX is still thinking like there’s more pilots on the street dying for a job.
Running classes of 16 from now on! Just hope we don’t hit the bottom of the barrel like we did a couple years ago. If only there was something we could do to get guys to stay. We have the highest 401k deal on the field, pay is comparable, and we got a new contract. There has to be something to get guys to walk though that door and give this place a couple years.
But with majors hiring like they are, Amazon is going up against the big boys. Pay, benefits, growth, plane orders, flying your own product and stability are things that these carriers provide. Amazon is just growth and an uncertain future of who is going to fly what.

Like $67k. There is a little bit of over time floating around that you could pick up if needed. Homebasing…the majority has spoken, never will ABX homebase. We are one of the few that does tradition basing.

ABX - 1st yr F/O $68,070 (until 1/1/22) After 1/1 - 1st yr F/O $69,427 2nd year F/O (after 1/1) 102,086
ABX is traditionally based for at least the next 6 yrs (next CBA) and it will most likely remain the same. With that said, many new faces between now/then and one never knows what the temp of the place will be then.
