I guess a raise for the AMF pilots is a step in the wrong direction.
Actually it was not me to say that but it was one of your pilot: "whatsright". According by the profile a SA 227 pilot, so not the last one on board at AMF!
For sure having it is better than not. Now that they have a 1.80 pay raise we can say an AMF PIC can finally makes the money a Regional FO makes at the first year.
Now, if you go on line and look for Skywest you'll see that the pay scale goes from 22$/hr the first year to 37$/hr, which is an increase of 70%. Yes, that makes the difference!
As far as what is better to fly between AMF planes or Regional, that another thing, we are talking about money here.
By the way I've enjoyed both!
