Thanks for the insight guys. I live in Norfolk, and my wife has a good job here, so we're not moving for the time being. I'm balancing QOL (living in base) vs. other factors (significantly higher pay, more certain future, etc.) at various regionals.

Correct me if I'm wrong. $55K first year and $130K in the first three years? Before taxes? This results in years 2 And 3 ta $37.5K à year. So great first year pay and then a paycut?
What am I not seeing here?

And yes, all pay is before taxes. But, you also get per diem, which is not counted in any of these. You also get $3,000 in hotels.

It blows my mind how we have any FOs left. If I were still an FO I'd be long gone by now, even now as a junior CA it's tempting to abandon this sinking ship. Wonder how many FOs will leave now with these new pay rates at the WO?? This company better do something quick or it'll be too late
I hope whatever WO announcement this is helps us in negotiations, but I honestly don't know if they are actually going to get a deal done (or even care). It doesn't seem to me, to be that hard to show "good faith" to the mediator during these monthly sessions.

Money in your pocket is money in your pocket. Just because some is tax free and designated for a certain purpose, it still goes into your bottom line.

Per diem is there to make you whole for meals on the road, not to be considered as part of your salary. There is a big difference. I understand what you're saying but in principle I think the two should be very separate.

That's cute. I think I'll start storing stuff in the Clt crew room- a week old burrito sounds nice.
