Inuksuk,
Just a comment on a point or two.
1. Previous pool to be hired first and EMB FO or cruise relief on the long haulers will be offered based on need and domicile. If you're based in or around YVR, likely cruise relief is all yours
You may be right about this but I think very few YVR bases will be available for new hires if any, as there are 166 of us comeing back from furlough and I would think as high as a 1/3 rd would love to get a YVR base never mind guys/girls who are still on property and have been waiting for YVR bases for a long time. (I have been told it is highly unlikly I can get a YVR base as none have been offered to returning furloughees this from B. Pope's office)
Re: pay I think brucelee is a little closer to the correct numbers and understand low to mid 40's for the first 2 years (not sure about the 15% off of that, I have heard both versions that flat salary was or was not effected depending on who you talk to)
here is the hourly pay for pay group starting in year three with AC you can do the math I think the guys are flying about 80 hours a month.
Weighted hourly rate
Year Day Night 1/2 D&N
3 59.89 63.11 61.50
4 67.98 73.18 70.58
5 71.16 76.54 73.85
6 74.45 80.02 77.24
7 77.63 83.39 80.51
8 80.74 86.89 83.92
9 84.17 90.29 87.23
10 87.41 93.73 90.57
11 88.56 94.88 91.72
12 89.73 96.04 92.89
the pay group scale changes based on a formula and is recalculated every 2 months these numbers are for March and April
