Upgrade in your second year is a real possibility if you have the 121 time show the ability. Now is a good time to come to WGA. A second year Captain makes $13K at 2 years for 17 days and you are probably flying under 60 block hours a month. For the next 4 years, the company is contractually obligated to contribute many millions of dollars a year to the employee stock ownership program. I don’t know if the amount is covered by a non disclosure agreement, so that why I am not disclosing the number. I’ll just say that after this months ESOP contribution, most Captains will have far more than $200K worth of company shares in their individual account. Keep checking back. Something BIG is looming for us.
