I must be crazy!!!! Okay more than 90% of regionals out there! I think awac guys still make more than us with soft pay.

Captain pay at PSA is much better than years of FO pay at any "great contract" regional like AWAC, XJT, SKW etc.

Definitely PSA

So I think the bottom line here is, why PSA or GoJet if you have other choices? And if you do have personal reasons as to why it's between those two companies, then pick your poison and learn to live with it.

Live with what? Having great scheduling language that allows us to choose our own schedule and credit significantly more than we fly, bringing us right up to par with most other regionals pay wise, and above most QoL wise?

Sucks to be us.

Also most on this website chose to vote no.

So the real question is.....for a new 121 pilot....why not PSA?

I wouldn't go to GoJet. Not because of all the reasons everyone on here is going to give, but because they are stagnated right now and have a well below average contract.

Why go to XJT, or Skywest and sit on reserve as an FO for 2 years and then wait 7+ years to upgrade to a livable wage?

Why? So YOU like him better? Give it a rest. It's simply not realistic.

If you're commuting from Dallas Eagle makes the most sense.

Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than open one's mouth (or type on a keyboard, in this case) and remove all doubt.

This thread reminds me of an argument over who is the top fly on a heaping pile of...

ALL regionals suck. QOL sucks, except for the top three guys on each list. The rest have just never had it any better to know, and some never will.

To the original question- pick your poison and live with it like the rest of us. Just understand that you may be there longer than you thought, so chose wisely.

With this, I agree.

With this, I disagree. Case in point, I'm bidding 13 out of 15 in my base and was still able to get 15 days off, all trips commutable on both ends. My QOL doesn't "suck." :cool:

Really? Do you know why they changed their name to silver? It's because bps was running a story about them, and their car parts, and their fos making less than the Florida minimum wage, and the pilots they trained being involved in numerous airline crashes.

It seems we, the pilots, have become the biggest recruiters for our companies. Everyone needs more people coming in below them right now! :eek: Well played, management! :eek::eek:
