PSA retention bonus just tripled
From $5,000 to $15,000, any word on whether SkyWest is about to increase their incentives? Discuss!

Maybe that is what management is going to do with all the money they save from not offering relocation incentives with Houston closing? Pretty shady stuff SGU is doing with that closing, but we all know any extra money should be spent on new hires and not those that have been reliable employees for multiple years.

SkyWest is having absolutely no problems filling classes. Not only are they covering for attrition, they're adding an additional 20-30 new pilots to the seniority list every month.
As long as they are filling classes, and can get people through the door, there is zero reason why SkyWest would increase bonuses.

Heard a rumor SAPA is working on another pay increase they want to roll out by the first of the year. Anyone else hear the same or similar rumor?

I tend to agree with the above. I love aspen personally. But the monetary difference between 95 hours in pbs with 14+ days off vs 12 off reserve at 75 is just not worth it for jr guys

Haven't heard that and I don't foresee it happening just yet since we're easily keeping up with attrition. Looking towards the future just assume each carrier will one up each other by $.50 to a buck per hour or some kind of bonus around $5k-$20k and that'll most likely depend on if you have an ATP or type already. These wage increases are geared to a newhire and not the pilot group since that's way cheaper and not really necessary. Remember this... It's not personal it's just business. I've used that line and it's kept me pretty upbeat while going through the years.

I think the philosophy is it doesn't matter how much you pay someone if they have plans to move on they will move on regardless because no regional can ever pay as much as mainline
