I don't know what it will be. Everyone knows Frontier is behind the pay curve. I was making a point. I could have used their current pay scale and still made my point. Virgin America year 3 is $168 as a CA, and $98 as an FO. One has got to assume it will be at least that much in the next contract.
The point I was making is: don't get yourself in the golden handcuffs. Expect and plan for a pay cut on the first year.
