Pay rates in the US are skyrocketing, pay rates in AUS.............plummeting.
Most regionals are still starting pilots at $50 per hour. Spirit Airlines woeful first year hourly rate is $61 per hour. It seems every day there are more negative social media posts on Facebook and LinkedIn. We are being labelled scabs. The best thing would be for Australians not to go to Spirit. Stay away till their contract negotiations are complete.
