If Express Jet needs FO's so badly, why aren't they offering a sign on bonus - even Skywest is paying one now...?

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what side of the house SkyWest Inc is pushing money into; what side they intend to grow/sustain.

ExpressJet started the bonus pay. It appears the other side of the company lost their new hire pilots and told XJT to take it back down. This is taken from a google cached page.

Qualified new hire pilots now receive $7500 bonus for joining ExpressJet
By Andrea Feminella
Feb 12, 2015 | Being ExpressJet | No Comments
Becoming an ExpressJet pilot has never been better. Starting today, we’re offering a $7,500 bonus to any new-hire pilot who has a CRJ 200/700/900 or ERJ 135/145 type rating.

“As the regional with the largest national network and established performance record, we are committed to bringing in the best pilots with the experience to fly our aircraft,” said Vice President of Flight Operations Brad Sheehan.

Qualified new-hire pilots will receive a $3,750 pre-tax bonus within seven to ten days after they successfully complete the training proficiency check. The additional $3,750 pre-tax bonus will be deposited after new-hire pilots have completed twelve months of service with ExpressJet.

If you’re ready to join the ExpressJet, or if you have questions about our type rating bonus program, contact [email protected].

This. Every quarter expressjet block hours decrease while Skywest increases their share. It's sad but expressjet's days are numbered.

When are people going to wake up, break out of denial, read the writing on the wall, and realize XJT has NO future. Management is at this point going to tell whatever lies they have to say just to keep the doors open until THEY decide to pull the plug. Looking in from the outside now, it seems so obvious. Get out now or stand in a long line less than 5 years from now! Nearly every airline beats XJT CA pay second year. Vote with your feet and choose to come to a company where you're treated like a professional adult, and compensated accordingly.

Don't you mean that Every other airline beats XJT's FO pay because anyone past 2nd year is on CA pay somewhere else while they are still on FO pay at XJT? They fail to tell anyone that their "industry leading total compensation" figures don't take into account their 10 year upgrade time.

I don't know why XJT has any FO's that are still there. There is NO sign of any upgrades in the next few years. Due to the parking of airplanes to get to the new extended CPA they just signed with United, they will have to get rid of at least 600 pilots in the next year just on the L-XJT side alone.
