It's either the money with a terrible basing option or a company with a much sturdier and vouched reputation. Someone start playing the jeopardy theme song!

That's what I figured. Like someone else said, people keep showing up, so I figured it was just talk.
I do hope they decide to up it at least a few dollars in the near future to make it a bit more competitive. Numerous regionals have low upgrade times and considerably better pay...but New York >.>

Is under 2 years still not considered "low" upgrade time? Come on. Also, pay isn't considerably better...bonuses are. Which leads to another argument by itself.
The way I see it is you can take that pay and 1 year upgrade and NY base but is that really the QOL you want? Apparently not to the new pilots that are choosing QOL over a fat bonus. Can't blame them.

Sometimes money is just simply not the most important element to be sought after.

So I was recently told by one of the pilot recruiter/interview individuals at the first day orientation deal that (not word for word) a pay increase is expected. Was very vague. Perhaps just his own hopes.
Anything rumor mill wise? From my understanding of what was said later on that day, if there are bonuses, they probably won't effect current employees so much as new guys (so the typical bonus to attract people).

I haven't heard anything about a pay increase. If they are filling classes, it's unlikely things will change. If they do end up giving bonuses, the current pilot group would undoubtedly get whatever new hires get. People come here for the base options, work rules, and pilot group.

Nail on the head. I'm a relative newby and if I had it to do over again I'd of chosen PSA. The money/flow have absolutely nothing to do with it either it's all about their SAP and the QOL that alone brings. That's not to say that im in anyway disappointed in Skywest. The grass is always greener.
