How many 200s does Expressjet currently operate?
That looks like a huge hit to their total fleet with all the 200s going away over the next year?

At first glance it looks like that announcement only applies to the ASA/ExpressJet side on INC.
Edit
Nope..ExpressJet only has 46 CRJ200s
I think SkyWest is parking 14 of the CRJ200s for United next month.

Another 161 sit with SKYW. Given the amount they are setting aside it looks to me that they are planning a contingency for the entire 200 fleet.

Actually hourly wise we're near the top, factor in 100% deadhead pay, 100% cancellation pay, 2 bonuses first year, plus 4 more second year (total 6) and the year after that the 4 bonuses also pay financial rewards, you will see we are near the top of pay if not the top.
People have been coming to Skywest when it had 7 year upgrades and everyone else had lower. It's a very good, very stable company with many bases.
Regardless of where you go, everyday you're flight instructing for 40k a year (I made more than that first year) you're slowing career progression.

Bit of a range though, between what you guys are saying a newhire could expect to make, and what someone who just finished their first year said that they made at ORD ($42k). $42k is sort of what I was expecting to see, and why I'm hesitant to go to Skywest when other locations are offering $60k and above. But he did say that was before training pay matched reserve and what not..
I'll figure it out. Thanks for the info!
