Does anyone have any info on pay? Just wondering if it’s better than Swoop and Flair?

I've been told it's $120k/Y to start with a 45K ish bonus at the end of three years if you stay. That would put it at 135/year for the first three years which is higher than both Swoop and Flair (with the current contract) if you stay and receive the bonus at the end of the three years.

All three are currently very low wages for a 737 captain then though unfortunately.

Lynx does not have any aircraft and therefor no need for flight crew.

I wouldn't trust any number being thrown out until they start hiring for aircraft that they are operating.

For an FA position of course. I think FO's make about 400k a year and work 2 days a month, one of which is optional.

It’s quite sad for a 737 capt. Americans are making double. Ohh well…

Actually it's even more depressing. 737 top payscale captains at United: $283US an hour. That's $358 an hour CDN. :shock:
