Pay Comparison
I'm trying to make a simple comparison table of expected annual pay for an inexperienced FO (no ATP or type ratings) starting at a regional. Following is the table I have using the information available here at APC using 75 hours monthly.
SkyWest appears to be quite the outlier. I've asked a SkyWest recruiter if there are any bonuses in the future. The answer is "probably not for inexperienced folks" because "they have no trouble filling classes as is." This is a pretty big difference between regionals. One would expect the market to force equalization. I don't understand why it does not. Is SkyWest really that much better of a place to work? Code:
Airline $/hr Annual @ Yr 1 Total |
I think it will change very soon. I am only speculating but it will not be long until they have to change something. I choose Skywest for a base and sooner start date. I was told the last month they only gained 5 pilots. If that trend continues going into 2018 something will change very soon. I would rather be in before the change. I tried hard not to base my decision on pay only and feel the pay will come with time.

Still able to get profit sharing bonus from day one, twice a year that’s about 1.5-2k for the year. We are in pay negotiations right now and I believe the time line will be short to completion. Watch this space.

Not that it changes much, but I think these numbers are a bit more accurate?
Code:
Airline $/hr Annual @ Yr 1 Total The Skywest draw for me is their size(stability?) and variety of bases. That could really reduce the odds/needs to commute. |
We are in pay negotiations.
Fill out the survey once it's released. |
Proudly industry lagging first year bonus.
To date this *whole* pilot group has benefited from the pilot squeeze. |
You forgot to subtract out the 2 to 5 % we lose with the historical credit versus block. Our pay rates cannot be compared straight across.

He’s basing it off minimum monthly hours.
