Newhires get $6K up front and the other $6K after serving two years. After taxes that sure ain't much and that sure won't cover the $100K+ these kids spent on their flight schools and aeronautical university loans... The regional desperation is becoming more apparent every day. Republic, like many regionals, can't come close to filling classes either.
Silver Airways (Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood and Gainesville) has issued this statement to encourage the recruitment of more pilots:
As Silver Airways continues to proactively pursue innovative initiatives to attract and retain quality pilots, the next generation regional airline has announced it has increased its new hire signing bonus to $12,000. This doubles Silver?s previous signing bonus and is the highest pilot bonus in the regional airline industry.
Silver began its pilot bonus program in November 2013, providing qualified new first officers with a $6,000 signing bonus, half of which is paid upon completion of initial training and the other half after a pilot's first year of service. This week, Silver doubled that bonus and is now offering an additional $6,000 to be paid upon completion of two years of service.
This latest announcement is one of many proactive efforts underway at Silver to attract and retain quality pilots and other team members. On March 17, 2014, the airline signed a preferential hiring agreement with Broward College, which when added to its other aviation partnerships, will further assist the airline with finding top caliber new pilots. In addition, the airline is also investigating tuition assistance and scholarship programs with these and other certified aviation colleges and universities.
