AA First Year Pay

[Hoodabundy]

If and when AA decides to hire... will they have a new pay scale, especially first year???

First year pay is about $35K, about the same as UAL.

They won't have a new pay scale, unless they negotiate something different between now and then.

Will a new hire have to pay for his hotel room like United? pft.

For what its worth I was scheduled to go to class prior to 9-11...I believe they were at least paying for the room. Even Eagle covered that.
It is embarrassing that one has to seriously consider moving out of their own country because the pay sucks so bad to start with a major airline here.
application fees, type ratings, paying for lodging, no insurance for 6 months, no travel benefits for 6 months, paying us like we are all 250 hour interns.
All seemed worth it when you were 27 looking at a career that could make you retire a millionaire.......LOL

1st year pay should go up when the contract is settled this year.

Yep. Working on my 3rd foreign gig. Find out soon.

When ATA shut down in '08, I interviewed with 2 regionals. I was making more on unemployment than what they offered.

Well, put it this way. When Continental was hiring, they received thousands of applications with people fully willing to sign on for $29.97/hr and no medical benefits for 6 months. I'd say that even if AA dropped first year pay to $20/hr and no medical benefits for 12 months, they'd still get thousands and thousands of applications.
