Some operations start employees at full pay on day one of training, others have a training wage; I can attest to having been put on a training wage for two months by several operators in the past, and in modern times, several still do. So, not without precedent. I don't know what Kalitta does now, but they used to put people on a 1,000 dollar training stipend and the employees had to get their own hotel.

Who cares about what Omni does? What does Breeze Airways do? Since that seems to be where Omni pilots are jumping too.

Humorous, but is Omni really seeing a significant exodus to Breeze?

Is he a direct entry captain/check airman? Half a million a year at a regional?

I find it hard to believe that someone making half a million is even a rare exception at a regional, let. alone the norm.
It's not really something I can wrap my head around. How is that possible, let alone sustainable?

In his defense you're making it out to seem like everyone at the regional level is making that bank <not true>. There are a few CK airman, APD, etc qualified folks who can, with hard work, make really good money at some of the regionals for the time being. Not going to last, good for a couple of years? maybe one or two longer, but not the norm. Especially considering the thousands (literally) of regional pilots that exist. Almost like at many airlines, there's a top end guy or two who have unbelievable W2's to show you. They are out there, but not really representative of the industry or their airline.

Every CA and FO qualifies for the 200% and 300% over rides, and they are plentiful lately. Will that music stop, of course, but he's only got a few years left in 121, so why not max it out. Even without the check airman pay he'd be getting $400 or $600 per hour on those 200/300% OT trips.
