It's crazy to see people defending this garbage. Meanwhile US regionals are giving sign-on bonuses paid out over time, longevity matches and and structured flow programs to keep their employees.
Yikes! You misunderstood me.
I was saying the 100K salary was a reasonable, while the 55K was not. I said nothing about the reasonableness or otherwise of the bonding agreement.
The $100K number, I had gleaned from the bonding agreement which someone had attached. (14 weeks being $28K in salary). Mind you if someone needed 14 weeks to go from ab initio to F/O checked to line, Either the scheduling of training was mismanaged by the employer or the candidate was a moron.
My earlier post indicated how shocked I was at the $55K number, which if compared to a menial 40 hour a week job was equivalent to $26 an hour. That is not a living wage.
