The pay is pretty good considering the type of operation and aircraft we are flying. Captains start at around 61/hour with a 72 hour gurantee, FOs have a probationary pay for 6 months then it goes up. I don't remember the FO pay rates. As of November we will be an all NG fleet. We supposedly just raised a rather large number of sign ups for membership as well as investors. There is a plan to alleviate our current problem of being intrastate only, however I do not know how close we are. We plan to open Texas early next year.
