The problem is when they cut out all the asterisks and say “industry leading pay and flow,” then they are being misleading to the average new hire that doesn’t know that current flow is not industry leading, nor will their own flow if they started today. And after year one they will be getting close to the lowest pay in the industry.
I agree, but even saying "industry leading pay" is disingenuous given that every regional carrier has either a comparable bonus but with higher rates *or* same/similar rates but with a significantly larger bonus. Averaged out, we're trailing the majority of our competitors.
The pay discrepancy would would be slightly more tolerable if all three AAG wholly-owned carriers were paid equitably, but the discrepancy between PSA and ENY/PDT makes the pay issue asinine.
