The "park ranger", no disrespect meant to either Skybus pilots or park rangers, that I spoke with in MCI,

said he picks up extra flying and grosses over 8k per month.

for what that's worth, they're not hiring street captains..

i guess f/o's can do the same (scaled down)..

From Flyby1206- Skybus CA pay is $68.42/hr.
Just did some number crunching. "Ranger" said home everynight, so no hotel, have to roundtrip Columbus to West Coast and back.
Columbus, Oh to San Francisco (over 8hr RT) so let's say he flys out (5 hrs?) and deadheads back, 1/2 flt pay?? (4.5hr?), 14days X 68.42 = $6,945
Ranger would have to pick-up 2 more days of flying to make the 8K total per month.....that's sixteen days to make 8K...still not half bad...
