The crappy pay at NAI is the trickle down effect of skirting those labor laws.
Gotcha. Glad to hear second year is much better.

Second year pay at Frontier is what, ~40% below industry average? I have a hard time describing that as "much better." No offense intended.

After paying for your lodging during training and living on your $35K GROSS you won't find it relevant what junior RJ captains make. You'll care what A320 pilots make. Yes though, the jump to 67 an hour will be less of a financial burden than Frontier will have been up to that point.

After that first year beating I'd imagine grossing your 60k would start to grate on you even more while knowing that most everyone else out there is close or into 6 figures.

Regional guys are filling your classes though, because the QOL is an improvement. Hopefully you get a better contract.

Thx!
It's currently at least a 7+ month wait with 20+ waiting to get it in front of you if you were hired today. The last vsa had zero MCO slots, and the one before it had 5.

On reserve, plan on guarantee and very little per diem.
why in hell would you make your family suffer like that... i get its a step from the regional airlines but at what cost.

Such a depressing post. Nice job still being able to put 10% toward the 401k. You must be a personal finance wizard.

You just answered your own question. And someone just broke down the cost. Please, stay at your regional. Troll.
