it does... But it's not a hard line. We don't go from "Oops we cancelled a flight for lack of crew" to losing a bunch of planes or a cancelation of our cpa in the space of a weekend. The hiring trend isn't great but we got a long way to go before we start getting planes yanked.

Great news! Be patient for the other half I mentioned awhile back.

It's definitely not. The problem is a PHX base ain't gonna reverse the trend.

Even Mesa offers more $$ in the form of a bonus, and you'd be surprised how many CFIs are ok with Mesa. I talked to one who said he'd go to Mesa, upgrade and go to mainline....after he had just badmouthed the other FBO.

So you want to CFI at a place that's more reputable, but you don't care about the regional you work for?

PHX base is good news, but until TSH ups the pay, classes will not get filled. I agree with ALPA that it should not be a bonus, an LOA is about the best thing that can happen.

I think the entire payscale needs to shift. Makes us look even more attractive

and I'm sure our Great Leader at this company understands that. I would be shocked if we don't increase pay or offer some form of retention bonus.

We gripe and moan about management and how clueless they are, but I'm sure they know what's up. You don't often get to be a ceo or coo of a major company if you are an idiot. The idiots that do don't last long.

You lost any and all credibility when you suggested somehow Mesa with a bonus pays more than we do. Good god man. Give it a rest.
And obviously pay is going up if classes are that empty.
