Moderator,
actually the post was made by "whatsright" a Sa227 pilot.
A type rated pilot.
I hope he doesn't make 28,000/yr!
Of course it's better than nothing but when a pay raise comes too late and not enough it may seems an offense more than a raise.
This forum has more and more AMF people that complain about the pay, there's got to be something true!
10,000 regional pilot voted down a new contract, few months ago. Among other things there were a pay raise of mighty 4$/hr (more than twice the raise at AMF).
Guess what, it was voted down by 10,000 huh pilots.
