As it is right now I don’t know how commuters make it work.

Everything is either 1. Oversold 2. Hours late or 3. Canceled.
There's lots of room most days because everyone misses their connections. Seats available on employee travel website 0. Seats available at pushback =35
You have to be careful with this. Sometimes they'll hold the flight as long as they can, waiting for late connections, especially ones caught in customs/security delays. Once STOC or whoever is running the show decides they can wait no longer, they're not going to take a further delay to board waiting cons, and the flight leaves with open seats.

I can’t comment on whether he will be lowest paid 330 FO on earth. But, he won’t be the lowest 330 pilot after the flat pay is finished. There are worse positions to be in in aviation than sitting in the right seat of a 330 on flat pay. He, and every other pilot, knew what the wage structure is at AC before he got hired. He can always try and get the Left seat on an equipment before the 4 years is up.
Helped that his old man retired off the same aircraft.

Compared to someone getting in their mid 40s, he will have an extra $3 mill+ in net earnings with the added years (factor in inflation).

Short term pain for long term ________.
