Facts are the first 3 years at RAH pay you $110,000-$120,000 while the first 3 years at Endeavor pay you $160,000+. Those hard the numbers to look at and if you think still being $50,000 below Endeavor's first 3 years of compensation is going to solve their staffing issue, you are mistaken.
RAH drastically raised the 1 year pay, but not really to the others. Endeavor drastically raised all of their longevity scales. That is why the overall compensation between Endeavor and the others still exists.
Endeavor has that pay because of a retention bonus that can easily be taken away and is taxed heavily. Not to mention that your qol will be crap compared to republic. You will most likely get a line right out of training at republic or only sit reserve a month or two. First and second year have been dramatically improved to livable wages. Captain rates are not bad and comparable to most regionals. Classes are full through March though I think it will take a year and a half to be back to staffing levels.
