That is the only way we are going to get people to come here...with a pay raise. 9E is now paying their pilots $80,000 over four years to stay, GoJet is offering an $8,000 signing bonus and other carriers are doing the same. If SKYW wants this deal to get done they are going to have to simply buy the pilot group off to the tune of about $80 million ($64.5 million signing bonus, at $15,000/pilot...most pilots won't accept anything less in terms of a signing bonus) and another $15.5 million in hourly pay raises and other financial improvements in the the new CBA. If you want something done these days, all it takes is money...time for St. George to open up the checkbook, or just let this place go the way of the Dodo...either or, it doesn't matter to most of us who are not lifers.

It'll never happen. St. George isn't in the business of giving away money, and neither is Delta. Inc. knows Delta has no plans of paying all of that 80,000 per pilot out. Itll be cancelled before the end of the year around the time of the rate reset. ExpressJet's business plan is the same as it's always been. Wait out the competition. Meaning no bonues.

Sad but true. Time to apply to everywhere reasonable and get out.

It's in the contract now. It will be paid.
