Not saying it won't happen, just that it's not a good rationale for working at a startup airline. If you want to get rich on startups, do it in the Bay, not Utah.
Never said it was a rationale for going to a startup. But it can (and has been) a part of the overall compensation plan during the low revenue start up phase (and that’s not necessarily even unique to airlines or tech companies). In this case, they aren’t even offering that, making it even less appealing, and providing less justification to accept low wages. There is no, “yeah it’s low, but these stocks options will hopefully make up for it” justification as there was in the ‘99-‘02 B6 days.
