1) While CREW offers $ 550 as pension, PARC offers $ 1000 as pension added to monthly salaries ( I am not USA citizen and don’t know how exactly this works ) but that’s a difference of $ 5400 a year
Both the pension and the loss of license insurance are better with PARC, the medical is better with CREW.
Both are reputable companies that have been working this contract for an long time. There has been changes at PARC since the buyout from CAE and many of the people we used to deal with are gone, but the folks that have taken over are doing a good job in my opinion.
Frank from CREW is a straight shooter and willing to help and answer questions even if you are with another contract company! Good guy.
2) While CREW offers $ 2000 flat in lieu of the Y ticket, PARC also says the same but it mentions that this is pro rata, not sure exactly what they mean by that and how it works ?
Not sure what that "pro rate" language you are talking about on the PARC contract, you get the $2000 in lieu of the C class ticket with both agencies!
