There's only one person here truly making the place look like a dumpster fire, and it ain't them.

Ahahahah. Hilarious. Keep it coming.

In their defense, i dont see 250k salary bragging on their site. I saw it on avgeekery.com. The media embellishments for clicks...not a shocker.

Here is a breakdown as I understand it.

15k per month 15x12=180k
1.5k per month. 1.5x12=9k

So 189k is really the only guarantee, which isn't bad.

The single digit seniority brag is laughable. If you are #2 on the seniority list of 2, guess who is the most junior?

12 days off isn't great, but if you're home every night, it's not bad. Seniority wouldn't really matter if that was true though. So it's odd they brag about it...

5%of your 401k is included in that calculation the MEDIA used.

I don't see any strings on the 24k per year bonus.

Up to %10 profit sharing requires profit. How many start ups in all of history made a profit in their first year? Even the unicorns like WN and JB were 2 years I think. And that might not have even been enough to give 10% to the pilots. So that 18k is VERY iffy.



So 180+9+24=$213k a year isn't bad at all....though would more count it as 16.5k a month for financial planning.

If connect (not the media) is claiming 250k a year, then i would frown upon their marketing more. But all the regionals (not just the media) are using bonuses like that and claiming "1st year pay up to..."

It is clearly a risk, but even working for 2-6 months (if they only lasted that long) could be worth the risk. You aren't losing a whole bunch vs. other options (assuming your only other choice is to try a regional and can't get hired at a major).

I'd be leary about 15k per month guarantee claim. Is there any 121 carrier that pays monthly salary? I would need to have that in writing before I would apply there. Do year 1 CA make as much as year 12? Is there seniority or longevity benefits? Very odd. And without that 15k a month, I would run far away from this company. It seems like a DEC only airline which as most said isn't really sustainable and I don't see why anyone would join if they weren't getting the "smart CA" package.

No one needs to change anything. No one really cares what a few trolls here on this dumpster fire of a forum thinks.

I’m interested to see the types. Over a dozen is impressive. I once flew with a check airman when I was a regional FO. He had 42 types, plus B-29 Flight Engineer, and an unlimited piston type which I thought was cool. His paper pilot certificate was several pages.

Leave out the SIC only types.

Not at all. What made you assume that? Because I don’t spend my time bashing companies and creating drama on forums?
