Like our shortened training program, we're going to do flow-through in one or two years where it takes "legacy carriers" "six or more years", according to the email.

Now, for the management of expectations, they're also telegraphing their perspective regarding anything remotely "industry standard" with the contract, because we are "different". Here is the relevant paragraph from Rodosta:



Namely, this place will never have industry standard compensation, and we're going to deal with the hiring issue caused by low compensation by having a 1-year flow-through from gojet. Anyone coming here needs to understand that "the ULCC model" precludes a contract or compensation anywhere near what other A320 pilots receive flying the same planes over the same routes.

Good timing for company mgt to set expectations, exactly 1 week before our last mediated negotiation session begins. Once again its official, discount pilots are part of the business model and as Ryan stated in the above quote, anyone coming or remaining here needs to be ok with that.
