He and I went to flight training, initial, and upgrade together many moons ago.

And the race back up continues . . .

Envoy boosts industry-leading starting pay to $60,000! | Envoy Air

Envoy - Day 1 sign on bonus just went from $20K to $22K. First year starting pay now $60K.

Keep upping the game! Man, this is fun to watch.

This is in ADDITION to what the WOs announced a few weeks ago. This was announced today.

Signing bonus just went from $20,000 to $22,100. It's obviously a response to Endeavor upping their game, was it last week?

And, yes. I would expect PSA and Piedmont to swing back with another increase too.

If anyone is keeping score, the other companies' signing bonuses are now more than a Mesa FO's full year pay.

Watching these volleys go back and forth is entertainment at it's finest.

I think the west coast/southwest region produces more pilots than the east coast. West coasters want to stay put by and large, hence the falling behind of the curve on payrates at skw, cpz and of course mesa.

Here's a question, how come none of the wholly owned regionals have domiciles out west?

Of course, Mesa is the worst off because of the terrible pay, but this will start affecting others too.
