Yeah, I’d be at $164/hr if I upgrade to CA. That’s 10 year FO pay at Spirit.
I’m not dogging Spirit, but the reality is that some regionals are paying more money through training, and the first year. And if you upgrade to CA in a couple years at these regionals, it’s more than most FO pay at Spirit.
Is your management even aware of this? This could severely dry up your regional FO new hire pipeline that you’ve depended on for years. Pretty soon you’ll be competing with the regionals for 1500 hour CFI’s.
