Default New Direct Entry Captain bonus’

Why have we heard for the last 3 months that we will not have any more direct entry captains and that the program is over ...also we had no standing captain vacancy this past bid and now the sudden this huge urge for captain qualified candidates overnight? Is something happening behind the scenes? More airframes? New base? More flying than expected for the envoy winter schedule ? Or spring schedule?

It’s not a direct entry captain program. They come in as FOs and are going to get displaced on the first vacancy bid they hit.

Who cares how they come they get 55k. You get your meager pay raise yet in your check

In my personal opinion, the meager increase in flow is not the catalyst for the sudden need for captain qualified pilots.

With the AIP Fiasco, you’d think the company was broke. It's was all a setup for LVA 2.0.

LEC Reps voted for this. Gave up so much money for a quick deal to be made. Envoyed again. Yay! No concessions tho right?

Congratulations to the NH’s FO’s coming on board with 900+ 121 time! Force upgrade to Capt! Yay! Come on down grab this bag of money! Make tons of bonus money, plus CA pay upon seat displacement vacancy!

Just in time for the market to be flooded with TSH & Mesa pilots looking for a new home.

LVA blue print form Air Wisconsin & ExpressJet mass exodus! This is LVA 2.0.

I wasn't here for HVA. Is that what really happened?

They zero out on captains everyday on the 145.

$55k isn't worth being at the bottom of captain seniority list for 2+ years making min pay. We got the bonus because a bunch of FOs sat on their ass's for 3 years not getting time to upgrade.

what are those acronyms?
LVA 2.0, TSH?

I understand what it potentially going on at TSH/Compass, but why a flood from Mesa?

I am not familiar with what is taking place there??
