First year pay is tough, sure. But if you planned ahead as a regional CA by paying off all your debt and saving up an emergency fund you’ll be fine. I have a hunch the guys complaining about first year pay are still debt slaves who never made an attempt to get out.
Sure, rationalize being a highly skilled professional with years of experience and going back to less than entry level wages. Everyone has paid their dues by the time they arrive at Spirit. No need to take that kick in the nuts for your employer or be put in that position by your peers.
