Turnover exists everywhere in our industry, especially with the airlines hiring like they are. The past few that have left went to either a Major Airline or a Part 91 job. We are currently trying to staff up to 3.5 per airplane but that takes time.
There was a big pay raise across the board a few months ago which is reflected in the pay scales that were posted, and most pilots beat those numbers.
Is Cirrus perfect? No, but find me any company that is. I enjoy this type of flying, I like the variety and they keep me busy. Management is constantly trying to improve the QOL for flight crews and it takes time, but I am happy with the recent changes and am looking forward to the upcoming ones. It's a good place and it's only getting better.

They book hotels through a third party, and they use those free nights accrued to book future stays. If you were going out of town, you can ask the DO or CP to use some free nights if they are available to book your hotel. If you are really concerned about your hotel points then you are welcome to book your own hotels as some have done in the past.

As for nights away from Vegas, again it's dependent on the airframe. I have spent 5 nights on the road this month, but I did 11 nights last month. The longer range aircraft will have more nights away from base but we do not float the fleet so we don't have long stretches where we are on the road.

How about any points for fueling?
Thanks in advance.

My question is WHY would the company keep the hotel points? Are they in a dire financial position to take a few dollars worth of points off the backs of the pilots? Or do they just dislike their employees that much?

As for the hotel points, again, it's just how the company has been booking hotels for the past couple of years. With how much we have grown in the past year, it will probably change but up until this point it hasn't bothered anyone. If you want to book your own hotel and collect the points, the chief pilots door is always open and y'all can come to an agreement.
