Hey Dera, we finally agree on something 😀.

You agree with my math now, 205/hr is 4x regional FO hourly pay?

Nah not that part, but don’t worry I don’t count GoJet paying their pilots 300% either. Technically they’re the highest paid regional pilots in the industry right now 😃.

That's OT pay though. The 205/hr is not. Plenty of 175% flying here as part of your awarded line.

The WOs aren’t the only ones paying $50ish/hr. Mesa to Skywest and everything in between aren’t paying that much different. SKW is planning on growing to 7K pilots by end of next year. No flow with anyone else. I foresee changes. There will have to be, but the demise of regionals is not around the corner. There is just too much incentive to keep two separate classes of pilots. Still have fractionals and part 135 stuff. Wages and conditions will have to change and more people will start deciding to be pilots again.

We must demand better. The union isn’t doing anything unfortunately. It’s actually in crumbles. Everyone keeps living.

Demand, how?
How, what and from who, would you demand?

But increasing the rate of acquisition of their own regional pilots would just hurt their bottom line. They’d much rather hurt their competitors bottom lines by stealing their pilots than make it harder to keep their own regionals fully staffed.

And I really think if F9 and NK do something about their ludicrous first year pay, a lot of regionals are going to lose a lot of reasonably senior people.




This will be interesting to watch play out.

What he said!!
