Via Airlines 121 & 135
#111
With bonuses and per diem included, I grossed right under $95K on year 4 CA pay at PSA. And I just counted, 178 days off in 2018. Other pilots mileage may vary, I was hired at a pretty good time and enjoyed rapid movement up the seniority list as the company grew. So results may not be typical, I’m not sure.
Oh, and that’s $96,500 salary, not including per diem. Want to include that, it becomes $103,700 for 4th year CA at $600 a month per diem. At $500 a month per diem it would be $102,500 at 4th year.
Plenty of opportunity for overtime, or extra over rides for checkairman or instructor stuff

4 year CA pay at Via is $96,500 base salary to show up. That’s without a single day of overtime or playing the schedules to pick stuff up. Without commuting, without being the junior CA and needing a crashpad again, while keeping all your air miles and hotel points.

I’m honest with people about recommending places. For what he wants it’s hard for me to recommend most regionals. PSA still offers lots of opportunities but it isn’t for everyone. Lots of reserve to look forward to for any new hire right now. I told him Allegiant but I don’t think he has the quals to be competitive.

When I was in SFB we did two days of day trips, had one or two days off, then two more days of days trips.... rinse & repeat.
They will DH you over to fly in AUS too. It’s a busier schedule there and not as refined as SFB with jetbridges and GPU everywhere. That’s when you rack up air and hotel points the most. They have a nice condo they use for new hires. Three bedroom 2.5 bath.

What about a contract? Heard there is a one year commitment if you have a 145 type or pay 9k upon your early exit. What about those who don't have a type rating? With a growing company, they would want people to stick around to help add stability to their growth plans. Makes sense to me anyways.
If I already had a type, I wouldn’t sign any training contract. Heck, in this environment even if I didn’t have the type I wouldn’t sign it.

Looks like they are cancelling service because of the pilot shortage:

As I’ve said many times... there currently is no pilot shortage. There is a shortage of pilots willing to leave their current professions for what regionals are offering.
That said, globally we will shortly be entering a period where there physically are not enough pilots for all available positions. We aren’t there yet, it’s still a pay - work rules - quality of life issue keeping the seats empty. The regionals that are paying, with good rules and working conditions are getting pilots.
