Endeavor is the one airline so far that has pushed pilot pay up to the next level, and zero strings attached to their $10k hiring bonus.

Not quite air wisky money but a healthy bonus nonetheless. Gojet has their new flow to spirit, haven't seen much coming from compass as far as attracting newhires, but good for tsa. At least one of the trans states holdings airlines is driving up pilot pay.

Will they say the bottled water and stolen minis equate to another $10K / year of compensation. Don't be fooled and don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself.

I don't agree with including it in advertisements especially if you don't calculate other airlines' compensation the same way, but you are wrong in that it isn't compensation.
Congrats on the new house!

There's old math, new math, and now regional airline compensation math! Congrats on the new house!
