I don’t earn 20K/mth after tax (PICs do), but nor do I know any CX CN who does now (consistently). I didn’t - even with transition expat housing - and was on one of the busy fleets. No LEP does. And after the transition period ends in December, no CX CN will.
I plan to stay right where I am. Home based. No reserve (except downroute, on the rare occasion). No commuting. Best 401(K) in the industry. Zero cost healthcare (rare).
The company has 3 x the fleet size that CX/KA had at its peak. 64 new deliveries this year, 73 next year. There are excellent opportunities in the US, even outside of the majors.
