Actually shortly before the new pay rates and bonus announcement here at PSA I was surprised to learn that we are actually growing on the FO side up from the end of last year. And to my knowledge both us and Envoy have been getting a lot of applicants before the announcement.
And just to correct an earlier post, the new rates with new hire bonus bring first year pay to around $60,000 and $40 /hour years 2 and 3 with an additional $20,000 in retention bonuses paid out quarterly over those 2 years. Not too shabby. Time for you fellas and Endeavor to raise the bar again!

Anyway, I hope you guys see more money and contract improvements soon. It just fuels the fire for everyone else... A rising tide and all that.

They aren't throwing money at you because you do a good job lol secondly, a bonus of any sort won't deter anyone from going to mainline , so st best it deters you from lateral moves from a forever reserve at envoy , crappy trips , work rules, treatment at psa to a LCC or a better regional

We won't see any bonuses here for the pilot group anytime soon, maybe a pay bump so we can be industry leading 
. Company is hiring 80-100 a month, ppl come here because it's good pay, very stable, decent upgrade, 15 bases, new flying, growing etc etc and no I'm not a koolaid drinker :P

How was SkyWest training simulator and initial ground ? Anything you can recommend that I can study?
I am concerned about the simulator as that will be a brand new experience.
I am coming from instructing part 61.

They will fill classes until they can't. When that day comes it will be to late to throw money to attract pilots. The money will be a very big recruitment delema in the near future.

The simulator training is excellent. From what I have been told, it seems to be one of the better simulators....didn't really notice a difference once I got in the plane. I came from instructing as well and didn't have a problem. The speed of a jet takes getting used to, but otherwise the instructors do an excellent job at explaining everything and will go the extra mile to help you out if you ask and are making a reasonable effort. Same goes with ground school. Make sure you have all the ep&l's memorized BEFORE coming to ground school, it will allow you to devote all of your time to studying the classroom material. Also, looking over Excemption 3585 and FAR 117 isn't a bad idea, most people seem to get hung up on those topics during indoc.

Nonetheless, SGU needs to open their wallets. Our pay rates aren't even industry-average anymore.
