Additionally, I think they've always had plenty of staffing on the 175 in anticipation of future aircraft. Once they're all here I'd bet it will run the more traditional 5-6 crews per aircraft.
I might be up for a BOI domicile though. The wife wants out of Utah as we're not LDS, and after 17 years we still don't really fit in.

So I was recently told by one of the pilot recruiter/interview individuals at the first day orientation deal that (not word for word) a pay increase is expected. Was very vague. Perhaps just his own hopes.
Anything rumor mill wise? From my understanding of what was said later on that day, if there are bonuses, they probably won't effect current employees so much as new guys (so the typical bonus to attract people).

Sounds like management priming the optimism pump...pilots have very large installed optimism pumps, doesn't take much to get them going.

The press release for the earnings report has a delivery schedule. 7 in the first quarter and 10 in the second. Second quarter deliveries are 5 each for UA and Delta. I'd think though that the company has already trained most of the pilots for these deliveries. They'd certainly have them done by early second quarter.

5-6 crews per plane!!?? Not on the 175.. RSR even said. That was the first big snafu.. They know the plane flys more then the CRJ. Lager "daily foot print" .. red eyes even... it will be 8-10 per seat!!! Right now they are at about 7 per seat...

I do hope they decide to up it at least a few dollars in the near future to make it a bit more competitive. Numerous regionals have low upgrade times and considerably better pay...but New York >.>

It's either the money with a terrible basing option or a company with a much sturdier and vouched reputation. Someone start playing the jeopardy theme song!

That's what I figured. Like someone else said, people keep showing up, so I figured it was just talk.

Is under 2 years still not considered "low" upgrade time? Come on. Also, pay isn't considerably better...bonuses are. Which leads to another argument by itself.
The way I see it is you can take that pay and 1 year upgrade and NY base but is that really the QOL you want? Apparently not to the new pilots that are choosing QOL over a fat bonus. Can't blame them.

Sometimes money is just simply not the most important element to be sought after.
