I have heard dozens of stories of the guys being stuck at a regional with XJT, I also made the point that making 200k plus a year means you will eventually become ignorant to real America and the regional industry as a whole, please save me from the back in my day stories.
I’m fine with my position currently and I know timing is on my side at this point, I should be at a legacy or major with close to 35-40 plus years left. Thanks In advance... |

Expressjet FO 1-2 years Gross: 70k (9 months old contract 37.00, 3 months new contract pay 42.00 hr) 2 months reserve Block: Around 760 hours Bonuses: 15k (5k new hire, 10k retention) Per Diem: 6.5k Days Off Avg: 13-14 I and countless United pilots spent the better part of a decade (the "lost decade") or more (15+ years) at a regional, making MUCH less than 70K. Much of that time on reserve. You guys make a lot more in the years since I left for UA. You have it way better, with way more options, and signing bonuses that exceeded my first year pay. Thinking that we look down on regional pilots or somehow forgot where we came from is asinine. Who do you think pushed to organize the ALPA FFD regional pilot hiring fairs? United Pilots. What we look down on is the mentality that some (including you apparently) have where we should somehow worry about regional jobs over ours. That's not the game we are in. We want to help regional pilots make it HERE. That's the game we're in. You're not a victim. Work hard, worry less about what you "think" everyone is thinking, and you might just be successful. Just wait til you fly with these guys...clueless, arrogant and spoiled.. |

Hired 5300 regional pilot I believe it’s about 6500 hired since then. They were running about a 50%-60/40% (both ways) mil/civ hire stat. 5300 regional pilots out of 6500-ish seems a little on the high side. |
So reading through for the requirement, you need at least 2000 hours to be qualified? I think I read somewhere advertise 2000 SIC and PIC? So you need 2000 SIC and another 2000 as PIC?

Are you somehow implying that United is a brand and service customers love? Man, some of you better familiarize yourself with the customer service rankings! You are in last place and have always been! American beats you by three places, ha ha! What top-shelf goodies and service are you offering? Alaska is number one in customer service and they have no Scope. Your pilot group is forcing United passengers to fly on old smelly 50 seat airplanes. Keep holding the line and see what happens. You had a chance to create a flow through with your UAL regional counterparts and customers would immediately have noticed a big change in customer service with less cancelations and delays. You have a problem:
