I would be taking over a 30k pay cut.
3, 4 and 6 pilots waiting for those bases, respectively, so *not* being offered to new hires, and the wait could be 2 months after training or 2 years since each one is so small. It's incredibly hard to say especially as hiring has slowed to a trickle and with each base being so small. Past performance does not indicate future results.We have pilots hired in Dec 21 who can't hold IWA and that base was going to new hires in Summer 21. Be sure to factor the cost of a shared apartment or such into your pay cut as many of our bases don't have crash pads and/or the schedule is too not conducive to one. And yea with management passing regressive language to the union the whole NMB process will likely need to play out which can take years.
