The contract we signed last year puts first year pay at: $36.67. The following years are the same that are posted here. As far as the company goes, I have to agree with Slyde 55. Great place to work and live, but who knows what is going to happen with $104/bbl oil. New CEO with new ideas that will take time to come to fruition, but the question is do we have the time? Since this company began there have always been stories of closing the doors in a couple of weeks. Sam Adams once came into an upgrade class to tell everyone not to purchase any homes or cars because we might be gone in a few days. 13 years later we are still here. Slyde 55 hit it on the head. Hope for the best, and each individual should plan for the worst. Enjoy what you have while you can, and make the best of the situation. F9 is an excellent airline with great people, and it would be a shame to see it go away, and I for one do not think that will happen anytime soon.
