The pay is slightly better than some (there are no annual bonuses or hiring bonuses unless you have a CRJ/ERJ type rating.) We have a Duty Rig that pays 1 for 2 up to 12 hours and 1 for 1 after that. We pay 100% for deadheads, and the greater of credit or block time. We have 2 hour minimum call-out on short call, and a limit of 6 ready reserves in a month with 4 hours of pay for that while sitting for 8 hours.
I don't need to cover the negatives about XJT because I see a dead horse over there.

Duty rig only pays off SCHEDULED flying, not actual flying. So in other words, don't count on getting it.
Deadhead: block or better only applies when DH on company aircraft. Co. claims they "don't have the ability to track "other airline" (mainline partner) flights. ~90% of deadheads are not on company aircraft.
Ready reserve: count on doing all 6. In fact, count on being scheduled for more than 6, but then being rescheduled for something else, then being told it "didn't count" toward the 6. Why? Because they can! Oh, and L-XJT still pays 4 hours for 4 hours of ready reserve.
I only offer this as a public service.

Is that you PSA recruiter? If not, you must be a blast to fly with! All I hear is negative information from you. You know, people have other priorities than upgrading. Otherwise, they probably would have left by now. If you don't like what is going on at the moment, just leave. Your strongest actions are with your feet.
Btw, these are the CR2s sitting at a-tech with Delta branding removed. 974, 837, 528, 686, 980, and 845. Assuming 6 crews per plane that's 72 pilots we don't need anymore. Anyone wanna take a bet that thesell show up out west with Skywest painted across the side?

Captain T, It's 8 hours of RR for 4 hours of pay. I tell everyone I know how awful this place is due to reserve rules only. The people in scheduling are idiot combatant's who only have the authority to tell you no to any suggestion to an issue you provide. This place is run like a inner city high school. Brad S. said he was going to change the way scheduling operated, but same crap different decade. Do your best to get out or stay away.

I'm still waiting to meet the new hire who is enthusiastic about 2 years reserve and no upgrade in sight.

Hasn't already been confirmed that SkyWest is taking some of the CR2s. It's not like DL wants to run them out of ATL.

I think some will show up at Endeavor and some will show up at SkyWest...The chest thumpers will continue to deny reality and Nevets will continue to blame SkyWest Inc for everything while praising ALPA and preaching the need for a plan B...
