The few new hires we are getting are not going to be around very long. There are a few 'older' people in class that were either previous airline or come from military background that won't be here more than a year, if that. Our current new hires are getting extra sims, some double the amount, it's been a struggle.
The bonus the company is offering is a joke and I don't think anyone has taken it at this point. The Co. wants to raise 1st yr pay to attract candidates, but in my opinion won't make much of a difference, and I agree with our MEC, raise pay for everyone on the seniority list and we might go for it.
Honestly, I think mgmt. knows they will have to pay up eventually, they are just dragging it out as long as possible.

oh, and today I counted 5 RJ2s at A-tech with titles removed, presumably awaiting new homes. Ready for the Respect You Deserve?

In management's eyes ExpressJet is the cream of the regional crop so they'll wait until all the pilots leave the other operations to come fly for them. No need for better pay or signing bonuses. We've got hubris on our side.

My condolences. Did about 3 years reserve and was about a month or two from throwing in the towel before I started getting getting partial lines. I can only hope that reserve in the major league isn't as painful when I move on.

Looks like Skywest pilots get their money pending a vote. We still have no contract and our pay is now not the top in the industry.

My condolences. I sat reserve nearly 40 cumlative months as an FO at ASA. The best part is if we (ever?) upgrade lifer captains hold all the lines so we'll forever be on reserve or maybe with a week of vacation hold the crappiest of lines!
