You're kidding, right? Without a type rating, SKW pays $33,288 first year. With the bonus, $40,788. That's about $23,700 less than Endeavor, and about $21K less than the AA WOs.
How is it in line with "other regionals"? If you mean more than Mesa and Go Jets, I'd agree. Middle of the pack, perhaps. |

There are FO's at Piedmont that made 100k by picking up 300% overtime on days off and not having a life. He was talking about just base pay, which is over 20k higher.
I don't agree with picking a regional based on where you currently live. Unless you are independently wealthy or have a sugar momma you want to pick a regional that has the best opportunity to get you out the fastest. If you want the 2 year upgrade or whatever the junior upgrade is you have to move to a junior base anyway. I think it's worth it to upgrade a year or two quicker. It could get you to a major a year or two faster. Your talkin 200-400k on the back end of your career. When you get to a major then pick a base where you want to live. They have lots of em. Using that logic if I lived in Houston I would just work for Mesa. Not a good career move especially now the quick upgrade is gone. |
LOL just the name Piedmont sends bouts of laughter reverberating down my spine. :D You have fun now working for that shoddy company of yours, amigo. Oh wait, you likely cannot since you have a single day off awarded between 4-days.... Haha

Ugh just so people are aware of 1st year pay 2016 I finished at $46,000 had no bonus paid. November 2015 hire, I finished sim Jan 2016 was online off of IOE in Feb. 2nd year pay bump was in November but that extra dollar had almost no impact on final number. Through the months my hours averaged 88 hours. My number is including per deim. So is it amazing pay no! Is it more than instructing yes! I was able to pay all my bills, go on vacations, and we bought a house. If you can't live off of that you are doing several things wrong.

Still wouldn't hurt to have better pay though, we should honestly concede that. To be fair, it's a regional and just a stepping stone. Get your time and get out. I never understand why we have so many lifers here....I'm just glad that for those of who want to move on, there is less competition as an outcome....

Then there are the genuine lifers who have great schedules and live in base, plus they make great money. It would be tough to give that up just to fly a bigger airplane. |
