They're making $162~$166/hr right now, while people hired into the airbus in the first half of 2021 are making $191/hr already. Our contract is kind of a joke in this regard.
Well, to be fair, there's super rapid seniority progression on the 'Bus and the MD as well, and very few people step on those guys' shoulders.
You’re right…I misused the term passover pay. I had to dig back in the contract. Shoulda said “NEW HIRE JUNIOR ACTIVATION COMPENSATION”. I know a few guys making roughly $3K/mo until they go to widebody upgrade.
