Lmao Silver goes up a grand to make themselves look better yet it takes 4 years to break 30/hr. You'd be an absolute fool to go there and it's even worse on the 1900.

$6000 Sign-On Bonus? Kid stuff.

When we shut down, I got a Sign-Off bonus for not stealing any loose CRJ knobs or sun shades. And I was very junior.

At least $40.00 an hour for first year pay is a good place to start across the board at all regionals. That's about 40,000 a year average. I flew for a regional 6 years ago and simply could not afford to work there anymore, it was a shame, because i liked the schedule and people i flew with but i was headed toward bankruptcy. I winded up flying charter doubling my pay but crappy schedule and flying with older grumpy pilots.

Offering this bonus is such a slap in the face because it is being offered while the companies are fighting to cap wages and set up B-scales for new hires. This all seems counterproductive to me.

Let them shut down for lack of applicants (can always hope) and let main line take over.

Your first wish is very difficult & it will be years before it can happen, if it actually ever happens.

The 2nd part of your wish, that is again is very unlikely to happen...

That's a step in the right direction, first year pay was $26.02 with no bonuses. However now they require 500 multi!? That's a bit on the high end. What did year two pay go up to?
