I notice that not all regional airlines are listed.

Heck, I know of 5 just in Alaska that aren't listed, and that's only considering "serious" airlines for Alaska. Frontier Flying, PenAir, Hageland, Bering Air, Grant Aviation.

Others here in AK such as Warbelos aren't listed either. These are all companies offering scheduled airline service. Frontier and PenAir are 121 and I believe Bering is as well. The others are 135 but Hageland and Warbelos have 1900s (ok, Warbelos only has one at this point). Warbelos and Grant are trying to get 121 status. Everts (see below) is trying to get passenger 121 (already 121 cargo). I think Hageland has given up on 121.

Cargo carriers up here such as ACE (Alaska Central Express), Everts (Everts pays fairly well, starting pay as a flight engineer is more than what many F/Os make at regionals), NAC, and Brooks fuel aren't listed either. Don't forget Desert Air... still think it's funny that Desert Air operates in Alaska.


Some regionals have really high turnovers and thus you are more likely to find junior guys as well.

Honestly, to actually have the *answer* we'd have to have every pilot's salary.
