So it's basically a wash is what it sounds like.
Thanks for the answers! I've been a 135 guy my whole career and I've been looking to get some 121 time and I'm just trying to figure out realistic financials.

At that point, management has the pilot group by the b.... and they get away with lots of things that wouldn't fly in other industries.
Either way, I wouldn't worry so much about bonus, first year pay vs. second year pay etc.
I would pick a 121 carrier based on whether you can live in base and for how long you would be on reserve....

And that's why I was asking about the bonus and if it was a yearly deal or not. Seems odd to me that you could actually be making less money after your first year, but I guess whatever gets them in the tent, right?

No problem, to be conservative , whatever you make per hour x 1000 is what your income will be. I would recommend the CRJ for holding a line, the ERJ is a ? For when you'll hold a line , the over ride helps a little 2nd year. When researching pay you have to research the contract too, it's far deeper than hourly rate, some places don't have cancellation pay or don't pay 100% for deadheads.

and final piece of advice ...
go to a regional you could imagine yourself with for a while (5+ years). The quick in and out may happen but it may take a lot longer. Going into something you are not sold on and you only do to move on may get you stuck in a horrible place once things turn ugly.

So a rumor of reopening pay talks early.
No thanks.
Don't need the .25¢ like you need pilots.

Interesting if true.
I would favor QoL improvements over extra $
However, I bet this is all about first year pay again. Wee need to make sure the company doesn't pull a bonus pay outside the contract as so many others have done....

My vote is for another Golden Day. Good to hear that SAPA is getting some negotiation training for when we ask for a raise on our allowance.
