While a RJ CA salary is livable, FO salary isn't meant to be lived on for long term. Most of the legacy pilots in this thread got hired at a regional in a good time, upgraded very quickly, and got to serve a big portion of the regional career as a CA. Today, thanks to Age 65, recession, and guys who just won't leave unless Delta or United calls, there are 7-10+ year RJ FOs who haven't made a penny more than $35-45k all in hopes of "one day" flying for a major.
My hope is that no one comes to Endeavor as a new hire until changes are made. If their goal is to keep operating Endeavor then they will have to give back to get anyone coming here. |
I share your hopes Bartok, but I'm more worried that if 9E cannot attract anyone Delta will just throw out the idea that we keep 200s and stick with the original fleet plan...shrinking us to 81 aircraft and if that doesn't stop the bleeding...Comair 2.0. I think they'd do this to us before changing the working conditions at DCI regionals.

BTW straight from the MEM school house....15 new hire prospects interviewed, only 1 accepted is the word from Weldon. SSP only 2 out of 7 got offers in last interview group.

I bet that guy/gal that took the job offer won't show up for class either...
|
I bet you are right

It's supply and demand. I'm not saying it's right, just that they can get away with it.

Is Delta really paying attention to 9E's staffing? Is Delta amenable to sprucing up the place for new hires to come?
If they plan on shrinking us, then no. If they plan on using Endeavor as a main Regional feed, then yes. |

I don't think it will take much to get people here though.
1. Offer SSP for new-hires 2. Add years to the FO pay cap 3. Give back 150% pickup This will get butts in class. |
