That is potentially 60 grand for a new hire at a regional. Until recently you couldn't even expect that at a major carrier.
Year two is 35 per hour plus 23 in retention. With the soft pay credits in this TA and the rest of the JCBA that will be over 60 grand for the year.
Then they upgrade to 90+ a year not accounting for any other gains over the next 3 years.
150% for all credit over 85 when you enable max line range and 150% for all pick ups coupled with there being more available trips to add from going forward.
The ability to effectively bid P2 reserve and not have to commute in until around noon on day one.
7 hours extra credit per week of vacation. Senior pilots equate to 21-28 extra hours of pay for the year. Call it a 2-3% gain
DHD pay won't amount to much but it's still probably a percent or two gain.
Sure, we all would love to make a million a year but you have to be somewhat reasonable. The worst thing that could happen is this doesn't do the trick of getting enough people in the door and they have to go back to the table and add to it.
Be realistic and understand that most new pilots hired won't see more than 5 years at the company. If you want to attract them why in the world would you focus your efforts specifically at anything above 5 years? Even with that said this appears to be a win for everyone on property.
All those changes to get our sh!t pay rates within reach of other regionals. Let's be realistic. All of these LOA's and contract adjustments are a direct result of a crappy concessionary contract. The entire damn plan backfired on management. I guarantee lots of these new hires will be on property for more than five years. What do you think, they'll be here for two years and then move on? Just because mainline is hiring like gangbusters, doesn't mean your regional career will be a two year journey. You HAVE to think long term. There are plenty that are choosing the regionals as a life long career, so my argument is you might as well readjust the entire pay scale.Originally Posted by PapaMike
30.00 an hour to start plus 3-10k in completion of training bonus, plus 20k in retention for a first year FO. Could anyone have imagined such a thing 18 months ago? That is potentially 60 grand for a new hire at a regional. Until recently you couldn't even expect that at a major carrier.
