They didn't include republic

Right, don't forget the EQO. It's basically a contractual retention bonus of $10k/yr for FO, $8k/yr for CA. Paid quarterly, taxed as payroll instead of bonus. Must credit 210 hours in preceding quarter. All forms of credit count, including vacation, sick call, etc. Pro rated if 210 not met.

They claim that when the EQO is factored in, it places us at or above industry average with the exception of Endeavor.

Seems pretty fair overall.

Whats this top secret contingency he was hinting at?

I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you...

... and find out first...

Your 76 seat pay is less then SkyWest 50 seat pay...

Pay and bonuses are taxed exactly the same. They may be withheld differently but it's all a wash at the end of the year. Also Republic's rates meet or beat Endeavor by the end of your deal.

Again, you have to figure in the earned quarterly override.

Only without including the EQO retention. It effectively adds $10/hr for FO and $8/hr for captain.

Yes but OO pilots get 6 yearly bonuses as well.

I don't think so. But I can only go by the rates on APC.

XJT TA

71.82 + $8,000/year bonus

Skywest year 1 50 CA
