My biggest concern with new hire pay is we force guys in their 30s to live off credit cards for a year and spend 4 years recovering. How do you recover at fedex? Fly 120 hours a month when ever possible of course.

Great lesson to teach the guys when they are new. It will come in handy when they are WB captains with wife number 3.

Double new hire pay and make 1st year pay 75% of 2nd year pay. Minimum wage 1st year pay is one ALPA right of Passage that can go the way of the Age 60 rule.
