The WBFO will only do 3 commutes on average too if they’re a commuter. That NBCA may have to do 6, 7 or buy some hotels in base if they get a bunch of 1 or 2 day trips.
If the company wants the experience back in the left seat and to fill those vacancies, they’ve got a lot of work to do. Reserve rules, productivity, pay, etc.
hmmm.. 15 days off NBCA line is around 86 hours and 19-20 days off WBFO line is around 75 hours line with at least one W, so I think it is a little more than 2k difference
even 73 NBCA 2nd year guy and EWR junior WBFO 2 year guy - 4.5k difference if we use 13 vs 19 days off
Thats 50k pre tax
