8 Year CRJ-700 Captain pay rates:
OO = $78/hr
EV = $78/hr
G7 =$74/hr
US = $76/hr
YV =$70/hr
OH = $72/hr
MQ = $82/hr
Average = $75/hr
Eagle pay rates don't appear to be industry average on the captain side, could I be missing something? It looks like Eagle's captain rates are actually 8% above industry average. FO pay seems to be more on track with the competition.
Doesn't change the fact that Eagle only gets paid an industry average by AA. Eagles costs may be higher due to some variations, but the company has been profitable ten out if the last twelve years according to their own federal filings. 2001-2002 were the exceptions.
Like I said, it's irrelevant since their MEC will give management whatever they want. They can expect significant cuts. BTW, the APC pay rates need to be updated badly. Use the actual contracts that are available at **************** to get accurate rates and work rules.
