We were not talking about pay for a DO, CP or a CI. We were talking about pay for a pilot position.

Again, my question: Is $35 to $40 per hour for a pilot, in a Jetstream "pathetic"?


So many of these negative comments sure sound like they could be sour grapes to me.

For an FO, no that's not pathetic. For a CA, it's horrible. Should be closer to $50.

In todays economy where most revenues are off 20% to 30%, it would make sense to have the pilot pay off 20% as well. I would expect that.

So if you say $50 per hour for a 19 seat aircraft CA is normal, less 20% to reflect todays economy and market, that would equal $40 per hour. How is that horrible?

Do you not realize we have all be laid off because there is so much "less revenue" at all the carriers?

How can the pay not be adjusted for entry level jobs?

This is the real world not the "I wish world".

No offense intended. The proposed rate was JMO. That may mean something to you, it may mean nothing.

Either way I wish you Good Luck, & hope it works out for you.

Cheers.
