3rd yr FO TOTAL: $88,400
10 yr TOTAL: $417,872? WOW without Per Diem
* Q400 FO 5 years, Q2/3 CA first upgrade
* R – Reserve paid at 75 hrs/mnth x 10.4 bid periods/yr
* Numbers based upon a former Horizon friends of mine
* Yrs not on reserve are calculated at 85 hours per month seeing this is a regional industry average for line holders
* BEST case scenario for reserve and upgrade!
* Unsure of when a JR CA can hold Q400 or CR7 for higher pay.

Thank You, just trying to prove a point. My point is that your PAY isn't what people make it out to be.
Starting pay for a Seattle Police Officer is $3200 per month with little to no college, outside training or experience. In ten years it is not difficult to reach over 85K and you are half way to retirement.
