The legacies pay 90+ an hour from day one, we pay 50whatever from day 91-365
If we were to absorb training pay into first year pay our actual rate is more like 46 dollars an hour. It's an embarrassment. Management HOPES people leave. Honestly.
How many news jets is Spirit getting over the next 48 months? Management may not care about pilots, but they all care about money.
