Most American pilots pay about 100k for their training before they get to an airline. Regardless, that’s not what is being discussed when comparing the two. Read the article.
Are we surprised? This has been mentioned many times and the many bases opened have all pointed in that direction for a couple years now. I agree with a previous poster though that it’s such boring flying. Now we get to chose if we want 4AM shows or Midnight finishes.
The other question mark that has already been mentioned. The airplanes can do day turns all day long but the crew may not be able to. Unless we go to shorter legs and tons of connections we should still have more overnights than the airplanes need to have.
