That pay would be for direct entry FO.
As a cadet you can look forward to 2 years as a jnr FO on about 55k (That's in the EBA). Then to rub the salt in to your wounds the website says you have to pay back 65k over 6 years, assuming no interest is involved that leaves you on less than the guy making sandwiches at the cafe next to your gate.
They claimed the cadetship was designed to fill the right seat to meet demands with fleet expansion. I was concerned about getting stuck as an FO for life.
Either they pay someone to give you 150 ICUS to get your ATPL or you get sick of direct entry pilots getting all the upgrades, you quit and then try to get a job elsewhere with a ton of A320 co-pilot time and not much else. Back to the same problem in a different carrier.
I'd love to stand corrected on all of that but I am yet to see anything otherwise.
