I flew with a CA recently that worked there and was furloughed after 9/11 and was just called back. He was making $64 an hour in the left seat of a 50 seater and went back to make $31 in the right seat of a 737. However, almost all trips are out and backs out of MSP, only overnight is DFW, translating to productivity and home every night. You average about 18 days off a month. Not a bad job if you like to fly for a third of the month and own your own business the other 2/3rds. He lives not too far south of the twin cities and I believe plans to open a bait shop
