[Scott Holl]

Starting next week we are going to be offering a $5,000 signing bonus to future new hires. We will also be providing a year lease at a post apartment complex. Check OurASA in the near future

Hmmm people were paying $10,000 to get in the door when the last contract was signed. Now ASA has to pay bonus money to get a pilot with 1/5th the experience required back in 2000.

What happened?

Don't tell me "pilot shortage." Delta has 7,500 applicants and FedEx around 11,000. There are plenty of pilots.

Is the year free rent for real? I want to know where the apartment is!

Theres a shortage for regional pilots. If Delta and FedEx treated their pilots like many regionals do then they would experience the same staffing problems

WTF..... Year lease, 5K man this industry is just pathetic. You know it is just an accident waiting to happen with a 250HR wonder pilot.

 

[regionalcap]

hmmm..can't give us a raise who have been loyal to this company for years ..but you can afford these bonuses for new hires...

 

[FishandFly]

If alpa can refuse a pay increase for new-hire's how in the world do they not have a say in a sign on bonus?

Ditto those sentiments.

Well now that I've read it on FlightInfo I know it must be true!

 

[TOOL CRIB]

This thread is BS. Nothing like that has been announced.

 

[blueridge71]

What a load of crap.

$5000 was about four months pay my first year at ASA.

I actually made more money on unemployment than working there.

 

[av8er2]

How about treating the current pilots a little better and maybe you wouldn't need as many new hires??

What BS!

In the business world a 5000.00 bonus is for the people who were too dumb too get a good job. But In aviation every idiot will think this is good, especially the people who went to academys they will think this is great, then they will realize that they will be at ASA for the rest of their lives. In ten years they'll be on here saying that they need too fix the pay at skywest. Aviation is a joke, and well I guess I'am too since I work in it.

IS Scott Holl Gay?

WTF? I hope you people that bought this hook, line and sinker are NOT ASA employees.

I heard that "gullible" isn't in the dictionary.....

 

[buscap]

Gosh I hate to admit it....but I did check OURASA.

Sigh

I'm a Widemouth Bass.

Not true Joe, went and looked it up for you.

gul·li·ble [guhl-uh-buhl]
–adjective
easily deceived or cheated.

OK, I hear what you're saying, but is this much different than the company asking the union to allow newhires a better hourly wage?

Paying them a bonus or asking for higher wages is still a slap in the face to those of us who have been working under a contract that was up in 2002.

 

[JoeMerchant]

Hey Stifler,
After reading the last two posts, I am convinced that if you look up "gullible", one will find your picture..... Sometimes I can't believe some of you are ATPs.....

 

[Stifler's Mom]

For God's sake Joe, it was a joke.

FYI, the last time I heard that joke about "gullible" not being in the dictionary, was probably in the 3rd grade.

Sorry, hard to tell since you still seem to believe that "Scott Holl" is on FI saying that newhires are going to get a signing bonus.... There will be no payraise for newhires and there is no signing bonus.... now lets get back to the usual bitching and moaning.....

I'll make sure to use some emoticons next time, ) :laugh: ) to signify my attempt at humor.

Yeah, but 500 are chicks who will get an interview and 499 will get an offer. The last one looks too much like a dude.
