I know, man. First year pay is god-awful, despite that it is higher than it has ever been in the past. First year pay for a first officer at Envoy and Endeavor and well even Compass now is higher than at OO since they are offering a $17k bonus on top of $38/hr is higher than what we have.


I almost bailed my first year for an AA wholly owned, something came up and I cancelled the classdate and remained here. I would not be surprised if we lost year-one FOs to other regionals....
