SkyWest E175s are RNP approved.
The new contract, if voted in, will give the company the ability to offer up to $40,000 in bonuses, if the company needs it to recruit more pilots. Don’t expect the 40k bonus to be offered from day 1. $40,000 will be the cap.
Having said that, a friend of mine is an Australian at SkyWest, and he said he made more money as a flight instructor in Australia, but the cost of living is so much lower here that he’s able to save money for the first time in his life.
