$10,000 Retention Bonus CA/FO
Expressjet announced an additional $10,000 retention bonus for every CA and FO at ExpressJet for 2018. If you add the 401k plan B match, XJT captains are making $15,000 to $20,000 more per year than a SkyWest captain. Maybe unions are not so bad?

Are you saying SkyWest pilots dont have a 401k match program or bonus program??? Because my paycheck YTD shows over 10k in 401k match, 4500 pilot bonus, and 10,500 in company financial/performance bonus

Skywest wouldn’t be parking Expressjet if the pilots were paid less than Skywest pilots. What did Skywest pilots do after L-ASA pilots lost the Delta CPA? You stole the flying because you are undercutting union pilots.

Unfortunately the purpose of a retention bonus is to encourage pilots not to leave. Expressjet may be having that problem but SkyWest is not at the moment. Not sure what unions have to do with encouraging a company to give them retention bonuses.

It is still a nice “family” company at the top is it not?

$10k plus an additional $10k for CRJ FO's serving Delta. The defined contribution isn't a "match" per say. It's just an extra deposit into our 401k on top of the company match. Anywhere from 2.5 - 6% extra depending on longevity.
