So you're saying that you have to already be independently wealthy to work there

Considering SAE's business is primarily Built on EAS (tax payer $), you would think they would at least pay a living wage to its junior members. I'm sure the CEO and other higher ups are making $$$$.

An APC member, SIC at southern, told me he gets 2 checks a month, around $650-700 each.

If they didn't need F/O, and they named the job as "Trainee" or internship, then I would understand (kinda) the conditions. BUT you're saying they need F/O by law or EAS regulations.....that's a different story.

So in my opinion there's no way you can justify those wages. They make a sh*** load of money with these EAS routes. Instead of "so much" growth and flows to "Mesa" (seriously), they could try adding some quality of life to their crews. Happy employees....prosperous business.
