No flight crew position at AC should be less than 100k to start, with a significant and steady increase IMHO, considering no commuting policy and that the 3 bases are in the 3 of the top most expensive cities in North America.Ash Ketchum wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 8:35 amI am in the same boat. Honestly I don't think I can afford to make the move to AC unless upgrades go very junior and I can supplement my income off savings/line of credit until the upgrade.Admiral Benson wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 7:56 pm Does anyone think that AC's carrot of a 350k/year wide body job at 25 years of seniority is still enough for people to sign up for 4 years of flat pay in 2022? Seems like it's a much bigger ask with the cost of living and inflation where it's currently at. I know of a few people who were willing to make the 4 year sacrifice pre covid but are unable to make the move today if they had the opportunity due to the high cost of living.
That small change would see a massive jump in worthy applicants at both the feeder and OTS who have put off applying because they made more flying pipeline patrol 20 years ago.
It would also give Jazz room to bump of their starting salaries as they are compressed under AC.
