Also, any sort of dissatisfaction is seen as whining and there’s the whole thing about being on probation and keeping your mouth shut. I’m not on probation but writing this so people are aware to keep an eye out for junior based dudes based in the highest cost of living areas making $3200/mo before taxes now. It blows me away that wages have fallen this far.
The junior pilot new hire pay has been improved, along with benefits. It's not a bad deal these days.

How about we include some jamba juice coupons for new hires in the next LOA? Let's make sure we get the senior pilots to fund your kids college funds while we're at it.
