Mesa: $20,064
Great Lakes 26,500

33,000 is about the best one can do with a regional for the first year.

49,000 a year to start for K4, but with upgrade presently at approx seven years, a new captain makes 105,648. That's for those who say breaking a hundred grand isn't possible. Sure it is.

A hundred grand for a two thousand hour pilot isn't unheard of, but it is unusual. Two thousand hours isn't much experience; one ought not expect to find it elsewhere.

Certainly it can be done; the original poster is doing it now. Such jobs are not that common, however, for that level of experience, especially without a type rating and experience in type.
