Hey,
I was T-prop CA before so the CA pay here will be an increase for me. Unfortunatley I have been here since June and haven't seen anything but FO checks...Kinda of odd since I have been flying from the left seat with them for about 5 or 6 weeks. The people ALL have had great attitudes which is an extreme improvement from my last job. I have even been known to do my share of b1tching from time to time. So far the only thing I can really complain about is the $$$$. Being VERY overstaffed right now is nice...I am off about 24 days this month I believe.
All that said....if I was at year 7 pay at AE...I think I would stay there. Having to go through training again sucks. You SHOULD be able to hold CA there very shortly right? If I could go left seat at 7 year pay where I knew the routine...I would stay. Nobody over at CMP is flying much except those guys doing IOE. So you won't be breaking the bank with that $61 an hour....If you even get it.
