How does that make any sense???!

She would have been making 150k a year + 28k in WSP On the 787. She would have also been within 1-2 years of an upgrade where she would have been making 220k + 40k in WSP on the 737. Also she would be making even more after CA2 where I assume they will get at least a 10-20% raise at a minimum.

Now she gets to make 55k/yr and commute while at the BOTL??

She probably did the math as well as looked at lifestyle.

And……. that’s the exact reason why AC pays shit to start.

Ironic.

Not as far as I know. She's the chair of the SPSC committee. I think you're confusing her with the WJ recruitment video that this is a spoof of. At least one of those pilots quit after making the video.

Seems like no one in the 703 world or 704 world that I know is considering this company anymore.

Any reason to take a job here over Lynx or Flair?

I can’t decide which company is more likely to be around in 10 years at this point.

I never quite understood why pilots let themselves be turned into groomers for this outfit. Did they not see the light through the darkness of the corporate greed?
