Have you gone through new hire recently?

It’s been a while, but many of my friends here have. PM me when you get closer. My friends work both on the CRJ at DFW and Ejet at IAH. You still get to pick your aircraft. An Ejet will currently ensure you a base assignment of IAH. But, most CRJ are getting base assignments of DFW. Given living in SAT, I would still pick the Ejet if I were you.

Few questions l have. How long can l expect for upgrade? And how much longer after getting my 1,000tpic will l move on to a major like Skywest or Delta? Also in terms of compensation is it a good idea compared to other regionals and the bonuses? l appreciate any help or insight.

I've been here about a year and it’s been great so far. With the new contract and open time that’s available at 300% (yes 300% that's not a typo!) I’m making more than a lot of people I know at other regionals, even some majors. There is absolutely no time on reserve and you’ll hold a line right away. Upgrade is very short for both the E-jet and CRJ so you’ll have your pick when it’s time. I have flown with a lot of captains who have been getting calls from United and Delta, so it won’t be long for you either. I highly recommend coming here. Send me a PM if you don’t mind, l wanna ask you a favor.

There are places you can make more. As far as moving on, 2 of the 4 pilots I was flying with last month were moving on. I assume you want IAD. Good luck in sorting things out.
