Endeavor isn't going anywhere. Both the company and union agree that the bonus will be extended beyond 2018, there is currently just a disagreement on how it will be paid. The union wants it rolled into pay rates while the company wants it as a bonus still. There isn't a doubt that it will continue, just HOW it will continue.

You can see in the bottom chart what is included.

The retention bonuses are not included because new hires get the sign-on bonuses and NOT the retention bonuses. Pilots already on property get the retention bonus, but not the sign-on bonus. Including both would be a mis-representation.

Ahh okay that's right...

Damn times have changed. My first year pay at Mesa was around $13,000 a few years later my first year pay at SkyWest was $15,000. This will be my first year since 2007 that I will make over $40,000 flying. Boy is my timing bad with the 65 rule stagnation and crappy fo pay. You guys are all lucky with your timing.

All I hear from new guys now is I'm going to upgrade in 2 years that is if I'm not at a major by then and when i do get there I'm going to have a 40 year career at mainline and be a wide body captain by the time I'm 35.

It really is a good time to be getting into the industry but it sure highlights how much suck I've had to go through and i had it easy compared to the guys that needed 4,000+ hours of freight time to get an interview in the early early days.

IKR?! Ha.

Thanks for the feedback. I certainly will. I was having computer issues and could NOT get it to work. Operator error, I'm sure. After the time I put into this, I was in a hurry so I did it this way. For the next update, I'll see if I can get it to work.

As a side note, perhaps you could consider phrasing your feedback to something more along the lines of: "Thanks for the time you put into this. I'm sure this data pulled into one place is helpful for some. Maybe for the next update you could try the screenshot function."

Communicating with that type of tone may serve you a little better in life.

Until us pilots start showing each other respect, we can't really expect to be respected by others.

Touche, I'll own that one. Certain other posters have been getting on my nerves lately.

If you're a windows guy the Snipping Tool works very well, but looks like you're on a Mac.

I've been at Republic about 10 months and already made more than $50k. It can be done easily.

That's counting gross wages, per diem, and 401(k) benefits. Should be close to $60k first year.

This is one thing that attracts me to this company. Not to crazy about the CRJ flying though.

What are Republic bases?
