Air Canada FAs on strike

[Skåning]

In general, my "financial decisions" revolve around prioritizing things other than making as much money as I possibly can. If people take that as a vice, all I can say is that I have different foundational values and a different opinion of what life should be, and we can leave it at that.

Ok but you were complaining about just “treading water”. Be honest, $100k is an insane amount of dough - about $195,000 curently. An unprecedented sum for regional pilots.

So you spend everything that comes in, that’s your prerogative, but don’t act like it’s something that’s just happening to you. You make the choice.

Yeah idk what to tell you guys. Stuff's expensive without one bit of retail therapy. Leaving tech was a total financial reset for me, and I spent 10 of the last 12 years making less than 100k. eight of those I made less than 50k.

Currently on year 10 ca pay at my airline and just treading water.

What were regional 10 year captain rates in 1999-2001?

At CommutAir, they were apparently $40 per hour. Would have been just under $40,000 per year at minimum monthly guarantee.
