$6,000 hiring bonus for new-hires as of 01NOV.
No training contracts ever, and previous training contracts null and void.

Referral bonus for successful pilot applicants.

Quick, someone tell Cruz to apply so he can get the bonus. And Carl can get referral bonus :D

Silver Airways
 
They said they want to "move quickly" on this, which I suspect means, "We want this to happen quickly, so we are going to ask the Union for a one-time pass on Moving Expenses in exchange for the Hub-basing."

Anyway, it sounded like they're hoping for this to happen by January. Maybe they meant 2015 ;)

If silver goes to hub bases...what will the bases be?

Interesting.

It will probably be a lot more interesting in about 6 months with American's big hiring announcement a few weeks ago.

The industry is going full circle, in the 90's you paid them to work there, today they are paying you a bonus.

My prediction is the bonus will end up meaningless. Not that someone wouldn't work at Silver and collect a bonus, but will there be anyone available to work at Silver?

  • Student starts at all time lows
  • Student dropouts at all time highs
  • ATP and hour requirements
  • Rest duty rules
It's a formula for interesting times for sure.

Even if I was back on 2nd yr pay and had the bonus I'd still make less than what I do now lol.
