Our upgrade time is under two years and unless you have 121 time from somewhere else you won't have the 1000 hours required to upgrade until around our upgrade time anyway (3 months training, average 80block you're already at almost a year and a half and that's holding a good line out the gate).
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!

That number may also include the 12 -200's that are going away, but are being replaced with -700's. So if we have 52, that makes 40 for the Delta side, and 12 for the American side.

Thanks to you and the others who posted for the details. I'm currently making a little over $43,000 a year instructing (before bonuses, closer to $47,000 after bonuses). Would be making over $50k if I took a promotion. Certainly not making an argument for staying instructing (hell no). Just comparing the wages.

On the SkyWest side company memo says don't worry this is all on the XJT side... And the 200 will play a future at SkyWest.

"Additionally, SkyWest and Bombardier entered into a termination agreement covering Bombardier’s residual value guarantee (“RVG”) agreements on 76 CRJ200 aircraft owned by SkyWest Airlines and ExpressJet."
And with only 54 of them being at XJT there is gonna be some impact ....

I guess I don't know enough about the RVG stuff. It kind of sounds like an insurance fund at they have been paying into and now are cashing out, but I think I (we?) might be jumping the gun thinking the planes leave without RVG.
It sounds like the only definate plan is parking of ASAs 200s and so far the 200s we knew were leaving are still leaving.
