A ploy to artificially inflate morale among current employees and get people to actually show up to new hire class. It'll be a fraction of that when it's all said and done.

Exactly. The flight schools are filled with Chinese students who go home to fly a 777 when they return. :rolleyes:

So if ATP is going to keep instructors for 1500 hours while not enrolling anybody and increasing prices, RAH is gonna have to fill 50 jets with pilots, and AMR is retiring hundreds of pilots every year for the foreseeable future, how the **** is there any chance that there would be another crap contract? I understand that this opens the door for more mainline flying to go to a low compensation regional, but I would like to think that this gives pilots some leverage. Am I totally off?:confused:

Plus, that is one ugly paint job.

Does anyone have details regarding how ATP compensates their instructors? I heard it was really bad but I can't remember the exact numbers. ATP instructors have shiny seminole syndrome which leads to shiny jet syndrome.

When I "graduated" in 2009 and looked to instruct for them it was like 1250/mo + housing(shared apartment) with bonuses from student's good performance working 7days/wk for the most part. I instructed else where, worked 5days/wk, and grossed 34k. I took a big pay cut my first year as an FO.

in 1992 these instructors had shiny seminole to shiny Brasilia syndrome.

yes, a hungry multiengine instructor at ABC flight school wants to get on with a regional to then get on with a major.

shocking concept, I know

Doesn't every RJ pilot has some amount of SJS or they wouldn't take a low wage job? I'm sure this new flying will attract a lot of new hires to RAH who will also not want a new contract so they can continue to enjoy the job security and growth that comes with a sub par contract.

Yes you are off. There is absolutely NO pilot shortage. When a decent job comes up, pilots will come out from the woodwork to take it. Rah is not decent, sub par at best.

Waaaah! They stole my upgrade! :(
