Nobody’s going out of business.. but look at it from a CFO prospective... company fresh out of Bankruptcy gives pilots industry leading contracts whlie company runs on bankruptcy rate CPA....
Can’t make money if no ones around to fly all the jets. The myth that regional airlines can’t afford to pay their pilots more is exactly that- myth. Regional management chooses not to in order to minimize expenses and maximize profit. |

"According to OO pilot logic they (Republic) are going out of business."
If the rumored Republic "Super Regional" materializes, that would give them critical mass, coast-to-coast basing options, QOL, and, (in year two or three or their contract), Endeavor rates. That certainly will have to force management's hand. |

Yeah sure!
2016 - yr 1 FO (Feb16 class) $27,137.24 (787.07 Credit) 2017 - yr 2 FO $44,037.38 (1068.49 Credit) Married, Cheapest health insurance for 2 = $174.18 / Mo My 2 cents when comparing regionals in regards to SkyWest: - SkyWest is paid in terms of Credit, not guaranteed block. Ie. If I fly from XYZ to ABC, United assigns 1:48 as the Block time for that flight, but SkyWest looks at "historically" how long that flight takes and comes up with a credit value for that flight. 9/10 times... that value is lower than the legacy assigned block. XYZ to ABC may only credit 1:30... So in review, you are losing out on :18 min of guaranteed pay for that flight in which EVERY other airline will pay you the total block. This is a HUGE shortfall of SkyWest and though pay may increase or may not... many pilots have calculated that you are losing about 5% yearly on this policy alone. 5% of $40,000 is $2,000. So, on average, even if OO pay was the same scale as other airlines, realize you are still paid less on every leg that everyone else flying 50-76 seat aircraft. - SkyWest is not represented by a Union. Instead we have SAPA, which is kind of like a student union from your high school. They have no real power, but instead they are here to make you feel "protected" from the company but their payroll is from ... SkyWest. Here recently they have voted to protect the company against the will of the Pilots. - Speak to people you know about bases. If you are looking to go anywhere West of Minneapolis... I hope you enjoy horrible reserve rules and waiting over a year for a line as an FO. As we do not have union protection, our reserve policies are FULL of loopholes which always work out in the company's favor... Overall, the morale here at SkyWest is going down hill and fast. Choosing a regional is an important decision, just try to be as educated as possible and choose the quality of life and pay you deserve. Good Luck Mate! |

No we won’t . That’s “unsustainably” as a non-wholly owned. But NH’s will. 20 year guys probably not unless you count your 6 bonus checks...
Skywest needs to become number one if it wants to get pilots. Go to Skywest because they are going to have the best pay year after year. The other airlines will give you a bonus and then you will become their slave. |
