Anyone know if they plan to increase the F/O and Captain pay anytime soon?

New Hire

Does anyone know about the schedule on Emb? Is it 8/6, 4/3? do you bid monthly, yearly or how is schedule made? Do people commute? Is there a seniority system for upgrading? Any info you can provide would be great, I dont know much about Contour and there is not much online either. Thanks.

Take seats out. The 135 is only 37 seats to begin with. Just get it down to 30.

You have some learning to do.....

And since with the exception of some of the ex-Onejet guys live in base, not having to commute to work is major QOL factor.

It’s a personal choice.

I'm on track to make 75k ish my first year as an FO at a regional. Not including the bonus. At my airline, Captains can make the better part of 200k with a little effort in line bidding.

40k/75k salary to fly an RJ is a joke.

Btw I worked at contour/CFM for two years.

Definitely waving my bs flag.

Probably check airman.

At envoy some check airman hustling make over 200k

$40/hr override plus picking up 200% time etc. bidding conflicts, getting removed from flying then picking up other flying.
