I don't mind to sacrifice a little pay to live somewhere that I like and is close to family. And did I mention I'm a Vols fan. Haha.
Endeavor you start out at double the pay of psa.
Our fo's make more than psa captains.
Only about one month if rsv for new hires.
Dtw tys super easy commute.

I'd expect no increase in June.

Next thing that you know, there is a $5000 bonus. A few months later, we have the bigger bonus now.
They only tell you part of the story. Don't believe any announcements. They are trying to get by on spending the least amount possible.

Telling someone to commute and not live in base is irresponsible at best.
A first year FO at PSA is going to make ~33k assuming only guarantee. Your first year pay is not 66k.

He also stated REPEATEDLY that they're going to see if the increased hiring bonus scheme is going to work and if not, they'll try something else to entice new F/Os to come to PSA. In other words,...... they're guessing,..... like amateurs,...... anything to keep from actually raising the pay scales!
You can read the transcripts from the townhall event at the PSA employee website, (Page 1, directly below the photo of the most recent flight attendant graduates).

I agree with those that say a dramatic increase in flow isn't likely come June. I also think that Delta has set the new normal with regional compensation and that the rest of the industry needs to catch up.
I also think it's going to take D&D some time to figure that out.

And while I think that Endeavor and some of the other regionals are really leading the charge by raising compensation. The current hiring environment won't last forever and neither will the current economic situation. Market forces will eventually leave them in a less than favorable position. It's all about the money for our legacy partners. If Delta felt they could secure reliable feed for cheaper than that, they would in a heartbeat. That is currently what the market is demanding and Delta is paying. Eventually, the market won't be demanding it, and what then?
