As I'm walking out the door I'm thinking "until that happens...have fun being here by yourself".

Yeah, if the regionals really want to attract qualified people they need to raise first year pay, offer signing bonuses, and drop the training contacts.

That being said, a lot of the discussion here is making me a little leery.

Better than Republics, " we'll give you $5,000 to join us, but you have to pay us $20,000 if you want to leave, oh, and if we cancel a flight for whatever reason, we will pay you jack shiznit!"

How about take the bonus, put it in a savings account then if you leave just give the pro-rated amount back. If you don't leave, or you get laid off you get to keep the beer vouchers.

Recruitment is one part of the equation...retention is the other.
Regional airlines are and will be behind the eight ball on the first, and interestingly rely on the second to keep labor costs low. That is, until you can't recruit enough to replace those who leave, then retention becomes more important...

Thing is, once they realize they have had their pants taken down and want to jump ship, they're stuck in the mud.
Kind of like the fat bald guy in the white van offering small children candy!
