I flowed to WJ a couple years ago,
2nd years pay is $90 Canadian I believe

So I guess a $100k with OT
Someone who flowed from Encore a couple years ago wouldn't be year 2, more around year 7. For anyone hired at Encore before 2023, years of service are maintained upon flowing to mainline.

Wrong, you keep your years of service for bidding and upgrade but start at year 1 on the payscale.

Man this witch hunt to figure out exactly how much JBI is making so you can shit on him: give me a break. He likes his job AND thinks there’s room for improvement. Move along

I assume you're one of the three who voted that the acceptable Canadian discount is greater than 50%?

Being proud of the $90 Canadian for a 737 compared to $240 Cdn for a Delta pilots puts you at 38% of their pay

Steep discount! "Only" 50% would be a good pay raise!
JBI is a good friend of mine. He has spent countless hours volunteering to make our profession better.

What exactly have you done to serve your fellow pilots? Let me guess, nothing.

What did I do?

I didn't join the profession because I think any pilot happy with making 38% of their peers is pathetic

I'd say if more thought like me, and less like "smiles are free", this profession would be further ahead
