It's worse than that. Rough breakdown of hourly wages per available seats (50 seater vs narrow body, APC numbers).
AA FO
Year 1: $0.45 / seat
Year 2: $0.69 / seat
Year 3: $0.82 / seat
WO FO
Year 1: $1.8 / seat
Year 2: $1.94 / seat
Year 3: $2.1 / seat
That's our worth. Over two to three times less than a 1500h CFI (no offense to them).
It goes downhill from there, looking at captains and/or wide-bodies. To that, add the incomprehensible delayed yearly raise, and no 401k for the poor bastards who actually interviewed for the job.
Insulting, and embarrassing.
I fully anticipate working under another subpar industry trailing turd. Too many folks at this airline are willing to sandbag everyone for a quick check on their way out.
