ADA Pay
ADA currently has three pay grades, Levels 1, 2 & 3, last year ADA laid off about a dozen or more pilots, mostly level 1s, the highest pay grade and a lot of the guys laid off where pushing 60, some over 60. This was due to the loss of the Zakum field contract. They also made all there 8&4 pilots go 6&6. Now ADA has new contracts and is hiring again, they are also offering 8&4 to existing pilots who want it. This is the first year that ADA has introduced a level 3, co-pilot, position. So effectively they have replaced experienced level 1s with new copilots (3000hr guys), whether this is coincidence or by design I will not speculate, but it is true!
