ANYTHING, is better than Miami Air!

Thanks Jude

Wow, so Regional guys still make more first year, upgrade at 121 mins, and in three cases flow to AA without interview or anything else in 6 years if they aren't grabbed elsewhere first.

with you guys getting this new Amazon flying, it should be interesting how long before the wages come up to industry.

Just an outsider reading some threads, but this kind of intrigues me. What is the theory on Sun Country versus Regionals if "final target" is Big-3 ? Both give you 121 jet time. One gives you a 737 type and experience in the airplane.

Sun Country pay at Year-3 is far greater than Regional Pay at year-3.

thoughts ?

Meanwhile at real airlines first year has been as follows for the last few years...
Spirit 58
Frontier 59
Southwest 82
Jet Blue 88
American 90
United 91
Delta 92
Alaska 93

Still behind, as always, Mr. Jude.

If I was I young guy I’d shoot for a regional with a domicile I want and with a flow to a legacy.

If you live in MSP then I’d consider SY but if a new base opens up you might be commuting for awhile anyway. It seems to me SY is higher risk but might work for some.

Is pdx still the most rumored new base?

Seriously, at $52 an hour Sunny DESERVES to have everybody use them only for a type rating to enhance their resumes to move to SWA immediately after consolidation.

Negative. PDX is dead.

Not to mention, you will NEVER go over guarantee on first year pay here. Reserve times are over a year right now, so the ability to even pick anything up to make some extra $ is impossible. At least at these other airlines or even the regionals you will get paid above guarantee in most cases.

They increased pay by $4 per hour for new hires. Thats a whopping extra $300 per month. Expect a take home paycheck of $1300-$1400 every 2 weeks.

Most first year FO's work Uber or Door Dash to keep food on the table.
