There's no definite number there. Anyway, the bypass pay is an ongoing question that the Company doesn't want to answer. And why would they? It's just going to cost them money. That doesn't mean it's not going to be pushed for, as the Contract clearly states who should get it.

I recently received the conditional offer of employment and I am 90% sure that I will accept. Next class starts in Feb. I have 800T 100ME.
I briefly worked for CommutAir. Didn't hate it and learned as much as I could.
All of the regionals look even more unstable now than they did a year ago. Unless you want to work for GoJet, pickings are slim. With new ownership and what seems to be a good attitude, I am hoping Silver Airways will at least be around for a few years. This job will never be secure the way the feds are regulating and the internet encourages low fares but what are some people's opinions about starting with Silver now instead of waiting until the regional mess clears up. (something's got to give).
I turned down GLA based on financial reports and Eagle was the only other airline that contacted me. I didn't want to just take the first offer as I want to at least make CA before getting laid off. (I know, I have high standards...)
My financial situation is good and I am not dependent on the salary. I am not a CFI and my long range goal is corporate.
Should I subjugate my life to be a regional FO in trade for experience and turbine time? If so, is Silver any worse than anybody else? I think Silver will be successful but I may be missing something.
