yeah 65 hours would have been a great month no doubt. And a captain with Majestic at their pay scale flying 65 hours every single month would have been making industry pay!
But look at it this way! Would you want to have to fly that much as a captain just to make standard pay! And F/o's really get hurt. Their pay structure is a lot like what these other 135 operations are doing. They pay a small base and then pay the pilot per flight hour. This problem with this in my humble opinion is that this pay structure pressures pilots to fly broke airplanes so that they will still get a decent paycheck. A lot of napkin writeups going on. Trust me I have seen it in a few different places.
