4 year CA pay at Via is $96,500 base salary to show up. That’s without a single day of overtime or playing the schedules to pick stuff up. Without commuting, without being the junior CA and needing a crashpad again, while keeping all your air miles and hotel points.
Oh, and that’s $96,500 salary, not including per diem. Want to include that, it becomes $103,700 for 4th year CA at $600 a month per diem. At $500 a month per diem it would be $102,500 at 4th year.
Plenty of opportunity for overtime, or extra over rides for checkairman or instructor stuff
