They’re having trouble maintaining what they have, which is impeding potential for growth.
Around 20% of the pilots have left and they can’t staff flights. They waited too long to bring everyone back, and didn’t really do anything to show any appreciation or try to retain pilots so they left and found other jobs. They are also facing a lot of maintenance issues and short airplanes. A lot of flights are being cancelled daily. They’re really having to scale back their growth plans due to these operational issues.

This is a bit exaggerated, they’re moving on to places like FedEx. Don’t know how much appreciation the company can provide to keep them around. Every airline is having trouble staffing right now because they waited too long to bring people back.

Airlines brought their pilots back in December and begin paying them with the PPP money they received. JSX received PPP money and still didn't take care of the 50%+ pilots sitting at home with no pay. Airlines also begin transitioning all their pilots back onto the line as early as March and even begin hiring again. JSX did not.

The company was staffed for tremendous growth, and then came the most extreme collapse in demand to ever hit the industry. It was never going to be pretty. That it wasn’t even uglier than it was for JSX pilots is a testament to the fact that at the end of the day the folks at the helm truly want crews to be happy here.

So what is the compensation package like? My son is currently at another 135 operator making good money, but the work hours are a challenge, and doing some really great flying. What could he expect as first year FO? He has just under 1500 hours right now.
Thanks for the input

If you go to the Airline Profiles under Part 135, they have their compensation published. It is up to date for the most part. They are currently hiring for DAL, OAK, and LAS.
