Is it? Or is that just what they were told? I mean, we all don't get to try out each regional before we choose.

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).
I haven't heard anything about a pay increase. If they are filling classes, it's unlikely things will change. If they do end up giving bonuses, the current pilot group would undoubtedly get whatever new hires get. People come here for the base options, work rules, and pilot group.

Nail on the head. I'm a relative newby and if I had it to do over again I'd of chosen PSA. The money/flow have absolutely nothing to do with it either it's all about their SAP and the QOL that alone brings. That's not to say that im in anyway disappointed in Skywest. The grass is always greener.

I'd take the 1 year upgrade in NY for the right Air Line.

Curious why the West Coast 175 upgrades went so insanely senior this bid. Hope that's not how it'll be the rest of the year...

They need to do something to restore the 2nd-yr. bump. 2nd yr pay for me will work out to be equal to or slightly less than 1st yr due to the type bonus and yr 1 to yr 2 pay gap being closed. It's not cool at all that I'm making substantially less than people at Endeavor or PSA with the same longevity.

The next few 175's are going to be ORD based. That's why they all the transitions went there. Not sure where the next 175's are going. Pretty sure more DL ones are still on the way?

Not the worst thing in the world. Peeps on the bottom will be doing reserve and amazing (sarcasm) standups for a while out in sfo at least.

Best of luck tho
