I mean it's just crazy when a company has trouble finding peple they don't lower the requirements they give more benefits and higher pay. That's why people should continue to support airlines like Skywest who continue to keep their mins even if they can't find anybody. |
Folks I am NOT talking about Skywest here, I am talking about the legacy carriers. I have said it once and will say it again. Making 30-35 bucks an hour for your FIRST year at a legacy carrier, NOTHING wrong with that. Second year pay, it should be in the low to mid 90s.
As someone who is looking close to a two year upgrade at a place that has second year pay at 22 an hour don't preach to me on how I like to take it from the company, you misread what I wrote there buddy.
It is disgusting what the
regionals are paying for first year pay, buy my post wasn't talking about the regionals, I was talking about the legacy places.
