Default 5k Type Rating Bonus

Hello guys,
I’m wondering if ExpressJet
throws in another 5 grand for a PIC type rating.
Or are there other stipulations?
Thx

Be sure to read the rest of these forums with all that’s going on at XJT. I wouldn’t come here in this environment.

By your own admission in a previous post almost a year ago you’re looking for a base near EWR.

Unfortunately our EWR base is shrinking drastically or closing all together due to the GoJet CRJ-550 aircraft moving in.

No new hires have received this base in months. Even if you do get assigned it miraculously, you’ll likely be displaced.

There are many other options in the wider New York area to be home based (Republic, Envoy, Commutair, Endeavor, etc).

Good luck.

Yes they do.

Yes, ExpressJet gives you an additional $5K bonus for having a type rating

Looks like a “BLITZ” day of posting for you guys on the forums? Impressive on a holiday.

Envoy offers a $23k bonus for the type rating/previous 121 time. How can ExpressJet even compare?

“Enhanced Part 121 Program – In addition to other bonuses, experienced Part 121 pilots can earn up to $23,000 sign-on bonus and upgrade to Captain in under 6 months!“

They can compare because they offer $27,000 with eligible type rating and while the upgrade may not be 6 months currently it will be less than that within a few months. It is pretty common knowledge we will be hiring OTS soon.

As far as the supreme negativity on this board just go check out other boards. The least negativity exists at the regionals with no career progression. SkyWest, Mesa and Republic have the fewest complaints. Here and elsewhere you have the contingent that will never be happy because they have yet to receive their “entitlements.”

The $23k is in ADDITION to the $18k all new hire pilots enjoy when joining Envoy. By my math that’s $41k in bonuses. Hardly comparable to $27k...

Envoy has been doing direct entry captains for years now, it’s nothing new.

Not to mention pilots get flow on top of that. Simple choice for those in the Northeast.

Well I’ll be at United after 2000 hrs. Nothing compares to that.

Go ahead and tell me how I’ll be shot down in the final review. I’ll take my chances.
