Can confirm, this is correct. 170,000 on offer, at least to the Captains that are retiring, and being cold-called. If they start training right before they retire, they don't need to go through the whole program. They are bringing the $$. At least they are trying!

That’s great! Maybe they’ll also call the guys within a couple years of retirement who regret not taking VSP…

FTCIs are unionized so you can't just make a separate work group that gets paid differently.

I do believe you keep you longevity for some things like vacation (weeks awarded, not bid seniority of bidding).
If they are paying more I think that's a great thing...I'm just doubtful of that "$170k" number until an explanation/breakdown is given and it's explained how that works with the current FTCI contract. Hopefully an agreement was made that benefits ALL of the FTCIs.

Good on them if it’s $170k to start. Supply and demand works. If I had to guess though….it’s around $120k and they’re adding in 401k match, medical/dental, etc
Got a buddy out on medical who applied and in his interview he was told around $120k…but things seem to change every week so who knows.

I doesn't work like that. When you move to the line you move work groups and go to year one pay on the pilot scale, and to the bottom of the pilot seniority list for bidding purposes.
