Not sure what this person is talking about, the pay for the Manager role was competitive.
Dispatcher compensation is great, the only drawback is that you're in NYC. Though there are plenty of crash pads for commuters.

How is this different than AS in Seattle or NK in FLL where the COL is much higher now than it was even a year ago. Starting pay isn’t great at any major except for maybe Delta/WN. No one goes to a major and looks only at the starting pay lol. Top out at 140k even in NYC is a pretty good salary especially if you don’t opt to live in the super expensive neighborhoods. Most live in the suburbs where COL is exponentially cheaper than living in the city. Also don’t forget B6 offers industry topping PTO (9 weeks of accrual and 12 weeks of biddable vacation a year)

Starting pay at WN is $55k. I don't know if you consider that great or not.

I stand corrected. Thought it was higher

If I'm not mistaken that's training pay which is like 70% of full pay. It could take upwards of 2 years to be signed off and make full pay.

What do new hires start with?

The amount of time to get signed off at WN varies, but my understanding is that two years would be pretty unusual. Everyone I know that works there got signed off in under a year.

new hires start with 6 weeks accrual then move to 7 at year 5, 8 weeks at year 10, and 9 weeks at year 15

I should have said that that was an extreme case. They still need to have a line open for you to sign off. It's not simply you sign off as soon as you are ready.

Anybody have insight into the interview here?
First one is only 4 HR questions with people from both the dispatch and recruiting departments.

No union, but a dispatcher-company individual contract. Top of scale is 12 years

No one knows now that we have a new manager. Heard it might be a bit tougher, though. YMMV
