Back in April of last year the folks at willflyforfood.com posted that US Airways was proposing a new payscale for the merged pilot group. Pilot Jobs and Employment Resources - Pilot Jobs Board, Pay Rates, Interview Gouge, Forums, Recruiting

Does anyone have any idea of what first year FO pay might be at the merged American Airlines if or rather when it is announced that they will merge? Additionally, any thoughts on which airline it would be better to be hired on at before the merger? US Airways is hiring now while I've heard that American might start hiring off the street this spring. Any ideas?
