Was chatting with a 10 yr Delta 765 FO at the doctor's office because we were both getting our medicals done. He was a former ASA guy and was asking me how it was and how I liked it.
Told him it was great just looking forward to the pay raise in a couple months but that 23/hr is better than 19/hr due to the new contract. Then he said he made $2000 his first year at ASA. Back then they had to pay 10 grand up front for training and he made 12 grand his first year (1993). And these are guys that got hired with THOUSANDS of hours of training.
These days we get paid training and paid hotels. Something unheard of in the past for regionals. Maybe next shortage we'll get free food
Just food for thought next time you're thinking of whining about something
