The Professional Pilot Left Seat Direct Program allows new hire pilots who meet the qualifications for Captain to fly as both a Captain and a First Officer. CQFOs earn a Captain’s wage while flying as Captain and a First Officer wage considerably higher than that of a traditional First Officer. The program offers professional pilots benefits that are integral to achieving goals associated with long-term career progression, thus making a move to a another airline less financially punitive. In short, the benefits afforded by this program make a lateral transition an intelligent career advancement opportunity.
Benefits Include:
• A wage structure higher than most new hire wages
• The ability to start or continue earning PIC time quickly
• A new hire training experience that will complement your previous experience, while providing additional preparation for a long-term career in airline operations
• An established company with over 30 years of regional airline experience

Any opinions/thoughts for someone that is eligible for the CQFO program:
December Compass class or December TSA class?
(not a decision I have to make, just curious)

Something to keep in mind if the music stops suddenly. I hope it doesn't, but go in with your eyes open.

Do you know what the word average means? Every airline that is less than the XJT contract can't be below average. Of the regional airlines (Horizon, XJT, Skywest, Wis, PDT, PSA, Mesa, Republic, CommutAir, Silver, Endeavor, Envoy, GoJet, Compass, Trans States, Great Lakes) how many contracts are better than Trans States and why?
Horizon, AWAC, and xjt have above average contracts. Everyone else, including TSA is below average or average and it's certainly debatable on where TSA falls on that list. So far from what I've gathered, they are below average. Twice I have listed the sections of your contract that were above, at, and below average. You can go back and reference them if you want.
Funny that we're comparing awac and tsa contracts. We all know awac is better. I think all anyone on here is trying to say is that compared to all the regionals in the mix we are slightly above the average. Negotiations are opening in a few months. We're fixing to rectify some of the poorer sections of our contract.
Why is it funny? Management (mainline and regional) have been whipsawing us regional pilots because of pilot contracts. It's completely relevant. I don't believe your contract is above average, on the contrary. Now, if these aircraft were coming from, PSA for example, then it's aircraft (and pilots) moving to better pilot contracts. But that's not the case with some of these aircraft.
By the way, I really hope that you guys can now set the bar.
When exactly what your current contract ratified?
No shortage of guys showing up to interview and several are coming from other regionals. I am not saying that this will last forever but looks like TSA recruiting is doing just fine getting guys to show up for our two classes per month. It's not a whipsaw and sorry but I won't walk with my head down because certain pilot groups are not happy about our growth.
It is a whipsaw. But it's not because of TSA pilots. I don't expect any TSA to feel ashamed and personally I don't look down at them but don't take it personal when I say that I hope your staffing strategy fails.
Which ones don't? I know xjt doesn't but which others don't?
