Year 4 TA pay is about $37 I believe. Well, year one everywhere is $20, and reserve. So, get shafted with pay and schedule, or lose pay rate and make up for it by bidding 18 days off and picking up red flag trips?? Hm.. Not so easy is it?
1.) every airline that has a union deserved them.
2.) you're company will not shut down overnight. It would wind down over a course of 1yr+. Either way 65% will need to look for a job regardless.
3.) year 2 here at OO is 38. And tops at 48. I know you can do math so which one has the greater earning potential?
Food for thought, the majors won't be hiring like gangbusters as much as everyone believes.
