Most, like 95% of the regional CA’s will make (most are no where near the top of a 20 year scale)… so 150-170 an hour or 150-193k, depending wether they are working 80-95 hours a month. I think that is a very sustainable wage. I have been asked not to post any more numbers with regard to NB rates, an ask I feel obligated to comply with but it’s safe to say, I don’t think NB pilots will make the same as WB pilots, hopefully I am woefully behind in my ability to see the paradigm shift.
Skill level? Ouch. AS management has missed every opportunity since their last acquisition to remotely appear to value the pilot group. They are still clearly looking for a "deal," otherwise a new TA would have already been voted on. W-2s alone won't keep the people here with a few years of seniority, superior NB QOL will at least make the decision tougher.
