And first year pay at Skywest in $11 less an hour than first year 747 FO at United and 3 less than A330 at US Airways...some more useless information and a great example trying to make useless facts fit your viewpoint.

Not SLC, Didn't lower any bars that I know of. Can't think where Skywest is the lowest regional in any part of compensation. With that said, pay still sucks here. I want more $$$. People working for nothing to get themselves PIC isn't going to help my pay or yours. Don't know why you can't understand this.

Not recently. But there was that little thing back in the 2003-2004 timeframe where they agreed to 700/900 rates for 200 pay, as well as a 18 month freeze on those rates. Effectively killing any attempts at COMAIR had to hold on to their rates, as well as anybody else that was bringing larger AC on property as well.

Irrelevant. Are you hiding from the reality that as airlines face retirements and hire more pilots, current pilots at VX, JBLU, and Spirit will jump at the opportunity for Fedex, Southwest, Delta? It has happened many times before, especially in 2006 and 2007. By hiring a candidate with less than 1000 TPIC, the airline ensures the pilot applicant is not qualified for SWA/Fedex/UPS.

[QUOTE=ShyGuy;1137339] If I was a hiring manager at JetBlue, Spirit, or Virgin, I would tell my HR folks to only call pilots with 0 to less than 1000TPIC time. QUOTE]
Funny thing about this is I will have more than 1000TPIC but put on the application that I have less than 1000TPIC... that way I can get hired and not worry about my PIC when AA, DL, etc start to hire! They may be able to mess with me but I can mess with them right back!
