not measuring johnsons here but there is no comparison to a regional. I was a 8 year CA at XJT and I'm back at that compensation at year two pay at spirt with tons of time off. The hourly rate doesn't tell the whole story. The work rules are great here and you can make a lot if you want. It's all gravy after year two for me from here on out. It hurts for sure in the first year, but you have to look at the big picture.
This airline is going to be huge. If you think the growth will stop at 144 then again your not seeing the big picture
