Last I heard, Air Georgian FOs make around 30k annually;
Encore's open-house indicated approx. $47/ hour to prospective FOs. Not sure if these are factual, so thought I'd ask!
There is a pilot shortage and time from licence to first job to airline is amazing. The interview is pretty much a check to see if you have a pulse these days.... but the management are still in denial that there is a shortage. I'm not sure at what point they will admit it? I think that rather than admit there is an issue and work towards resolving it they are working towards automating the job out of existence... but that will take time and it may be time they don't have.
