It's almost as if the bunch of angry people screaming over and over is the same people almost every time.

As how it always goes, they'll settle down soon enough. Can't please everyone.

There's nothing in the email with the subject "Announcement: Skywest Pilot Pay Increases!", or on their updated hiring webpage about them starting what the TA said is the "option to offer hiring bonuses of up to $40,000" yet.

P.S. Hello, I'm new. I've been a Skywest Cadet for several months and I've been lurking around this website for several weeks.

I will assume you are not trying to go to a major? If you do, I would suggest keeping that opinion to yourself.

Currently there is no bonus unless you're prior 121/typed 135. If you are, you receive 7500 after completing IOE.

This current pay policy allows the airline to give a bonus of up to $40k. However, management said there was no intention of offering/changing the bonus (outside the current one) this year.

So, to answer your question. There is no bonus for non 121 currently, no idea how much, when or what the payout structure would be if they change it.
