You'll make $45k more or less first year hinging upon how hard you work in the junior bases, and second and third year I'm guessing is $50k or more.... I don't know I'm about to find out.

And let's cut the bull...Envoy is a sh*ty airline that treats it's employees like cattle. Keep your flow, the whole thing is smoke and mirrors to keep you chained to a regional while everyone else without a flow will be motivated to improve their odds for a legacy by making themselves better, more well rounded candidates....

I disagree... I use my American benefits more then the other two. United is WAY overbooked on every flight and all Delta stuff goes through ATL.

BTW, you only get AA benefits after 6 months and you have to pay $75 for you and $50 for each family member.

When you see those taxes come out of those bonuses it isn't as glorious as it may seem. You can keep those 12 hour 4 days. A JFK commute is horrible and even if you do make 60k and move, how far will that go in NYC.

To avoid working with toolbags like you maybe?

I'm very happy here at Skywest. Sure, I could make more money somewhere else I would be commuting for it. Even though movement has come to a halt in the base where I live I don't commute which to me is invaluable.

Many of them are not even keeping up with logbooks anymore because they are so sold on the whole thing working out as described. American has been using the flow carrot for over twenty years and for those that did flow it took three times longer than what they were promised.

Can any SkyWest pilots out there give me info on sim instructor pay? Hours per event, min guarantee, ability to do 2 sims a day, average credit per month, etc.? Thanks in advance.

Enough with the ignorance about bonus taxing. There are many reasons why one might choose SkyWest over those other 2, but your lack of understanding of how bonuses are taxed is not one of them.
