Central Mountain Air pay for First Officer

see attached

$36k/mo is pretty good. You could pay off the $10k bond with your first paycheck.

36000 a Year

After tax that’s about 2400 a month to live the high life in YVR.

Oh. A year.

I saw a training bond. Didn’t know they were still a thing.

I’d take the $10k and get a 737 or 320 type.

I guess its better than $500.

That sure puts things in perspective. CommutAir’s $25,000/year USD retention bonus is nearly the same as CMA’s salary. SMH.

Though I’m sure the hiring minimums between CMA and CommutAir’s EMB 145s are different. Maybe not a perfect apples to apples.

And now Canadians are being sponsored for green cards in the USA see viewtopic.php?f=21&t=6468


If this is an option I can see AC and others bleed many pilots south.

I know a guy, he bailed on a regional, got a real job. Did not like the shit pay and commute.

But things have changed. Various regionals keep pestering him, offering signing bonuses.

I think the latest offer was us$140k/yr, he laughed and said no thanks.

I think I mentioned that a different kid who did my BFR got right seat at Southwest. Very happy.

Recruiters here are very aggressive. Google finally stopped bothering me after I told them, they couldn’t afford me.

Anyways, if I was a working Canadian pilot, I would get an FAA ATP. I did it, and most Canadians think I’m an idiot, so you can too.
