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.
I doubt a TA with so many shortfalls will be send out for a vote. Let's just hope the economy doesn't tank in the meantime.
There should be ZERO pay difference between WO flow and an OTS new hire.
