Erhalten Sie Ihren Esel aus meinem neuen Büro . . . .

Which, according to a free on-line translator, means, "Receive your donkey out of my new office".

Any payscales at Virgin should be looked at with suspicion if Carty is in charge. My mind reels at the thought process that chose a man like him to run this endeavor.

I think I priced myself out of the market. I under "current pay" on the app, I listed my pay for last year which was still higher than CA pay at Virgin Am.

Good luck to those who get on. Have fun.TC

Goggles.....I agree with you, newhire pay doesn't need to be as low as it is at some carriers. Hard to ask for unity when a newbie is paid like a third class citizen. I believe you pay your dues far earlier in your career.

Only in America is this true.....God bless America!
I've been waiting 3 years to come back home for a half decent job. Trouble is, it's hardly worth my while. I'd take an immediate 50% drop in salary, maybe more. Where's the incentive? A promise of upgrade within x years? Yeah, I've heard that one many times and it never happened!
Some people are STILL paying dues years later and of course, if you switch to a new company, you start over again and again..........gets tiring after a while.

Airline managment at all carriers are smoking crack. We take all of the risk and the responsibility, make 100% of the profit for the company and yet get the shaft in the end when it comes to income. There should be a union...oh wait they have been a saving grace to the legacy's.

Just saw one A320 flying out of SFO yesterday, it must have been a test run, cause it was called by its tail number.

I guess thats a lot better than U.S. Airways ($25 for Captain and F/O first year) on the A320. Or $38 if you count the America West payscale. I have always hated how legacy airlines make the first year so insulting

Virgin 70 hours guarantee at $44 = $3080 gross
America West 77 hours at $38 = $2926 gross

Year two at AWA is $59 an hour, year 3 is $68 with 77 hour guarantees what is the year two and three scale at Virgin?

 

[Speedbird87]

Year two you will be a Captain at VA year 12 you will still be a F/O at USAir West.

Not everyone will be... What happens when that quick upgrade stops and now everyone is trying to live on a 70 hour month at those wages.

Plus I can make 95 an hour as an FO at USAirways, will any of the Virgin guys be able to when the growth stops.

Virgin, good for some, bad for everyone else.
