I can’t keep up with the 175 travel benefits. Which airline’s benefits do 175 pilots get based at ORD?

This is the pay scale for a Spirit FO for the three different Airbus models they fly:
3 112 112 112
2 104 104 104
1 56 56 56
These are their hiring requirements:
Minimums: 2,000 Total Time in Fixed Wing Aircraft 1,000 Multi-engine Aircraft
Preferred: 3,000 Total Time in Fixed Wing Aircraft 1,500 in multi-engine, multi-crew, turboprop or jet aircraft
....
It would seem like all of the captains and upgrade qualified FOs at Skywest qualify. Time for the management of the regional airlines, ALL OF THE REGIONAL AIRLINES INCLUDING SKYWEST,to deal with today's reality.

The most obvious thing will save the regional model is a recession.
If the recession doesn’t happen, the interesting question to me is do all those affiliated with “major partner” understand that they are tied to the success of the regional model?

Is there any wait time for a class date on the 175 or CRJ? Hoping training isn't backed up here like it is at 9E, thanks!

Who is tied to the success of the regional model? Other than regional lifers?

Coming here because you have to wait to get into RAH or 9E will only hurt our chances during the ongoing negotiations. Honest truth of the whole situation. Enjoy your summer and wait to see how this shakes out for a few months, unless you want to help solidify SkyWest’s demise.

I’m pretty sure 175 staffing is already mostly in place for those new airplane deliveries. Using those new 175 deliveries is pretty weak leverage for pay talks. We need bodies in class for the CRJ.

Obviously over the next decade these companies can change their business models but for now they depend on each other.
Without regionals, ULCC/LCC/SWA would have many many airplanes on order. Even before LCCs fully turn their eyes trans-ocean, Legacies are seeing their best profit growth in the domestic market...using cheap labor.
Record profits will continue as long as the business model of cheap contracted labor continues. The common point in the last few pages is - “why would this continue?”
Won’t the worker bees move on to “major partners” competitor?
