3 years at ATI you might be at $200/hr. UPS $186/hr. ABX $110/hr.
No question UPS better but for someone coming from a regional or place like commutair (400+ pilots with 3 year CA's making 56 - $67/hr!) $200/hr in three years is going to feel pretty good.
Excellent, thank you for proving my point. Again doing the math, and one may evaluate own your risk vs reward...
3 yr ATI CAPTAIN - $156k
3 yr UPS First Officer - $180k - CAPTAIN - $291k
3 yr FedEx First Officer -$169k - CAPTAIN - $266k
I agree, some places are definately worse. “ATI folks feel like they are doing well,” should not translate into settling for less HERE (acmi) just because the regionals are/were worse. It’s similar to people moving out of a high tax state to a low tax state, and then voting for the same policies which created the high tax state. You remember that old quote about those who fail to heed history are doomed to repeat it?
Please! Do the WHOLE mathematical problem, the hourly rate is only one part of the equation, and one management likes to dangle like the preverbal carrot...
