Damn... That's right up there with QX (probably even better)
Same first year pay as Horizon but smaller planes than Horizon = less demanding pax and 1 less moody FA to deal with. Not to mention an upgrade time at CommutAir that makes Horizon's look like a freaking eternity.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner!!!!!

Don't think this will do it. If you're voting yes to save your job and the company you just might find yourself doing the opposite. $30 for first year? Others might pay less but offer bonus that C5 does not. Also, second year FO pay is still less than the rest to fly the loudest, smelliest plane ever made. No proper comforts of a jet with APU's and a management team that does not care enough about you to not to give you airport standby the afternoon after you finish a standup.
Match Skywest in pay or no thanks from me. Vote what is best for you and your family.

Go work at SkyWest then. Tired of hearing you complain...add up years one and two at CommutAir and it's still better than SkyWest.
C5
$30
$32
SkyWest
$22
$37
Heck you would still be ahead in pay by year 3 because you could have a chance to upgrade by then. So CommutAir has a chance to have the highest first year pay of any regional and you are still not happy? This is a good step for all regionals.

Regarding the Q400 rumor, I believe Republic is taking all 30 of Colgan's old Q's which are already painted in United livery. There are still a few of them parked up in TUS. Seen as the Q400 is made in Toronto and flown all over the world, it shouldn't be a surprise to see a couple out on the forecourt.

[QUOTE=Ultralight;1604402]Its good to see a regional being proactive and dealing with the staffing problems by increasing year 1 F.O. pay. I'm surprised CommutaAir is taking the lead here but good for them.
I couldn't agree more. I'm thinking the "Open House" that CommutAir has been advertising on climbto350 is going to be packed.
Good for C5 for recognizing the need to up the ante to get more pilots in the door and I couldn't be happier for the pilot group at C5.

As it stands right now the most junior captain was hired in January 2012. April upgrade got canceled because of lack of First Officers. That being said if we had plenty of First Officers I could easily see upgrade times drop below 2 years. That's the key, bring in enough first officers and upgrade times drop which will attract more FOs. I think this LOA is a step in the right direction for sure.
