The salary is the same for Home-Based Captains. For Metro Captains, first year salary is $57,000 (does not include bonuses, per diem, etc.)
If your Multi-Engine is at 34 hours, you unfortunately wouldn't come in as a Metro. With your other hours being so high, we could likely get you that Home-Based position as a 99 and transition you to the Metro when you get 200 more hours of Multi.
Hope that helps!
Thanks Freightdogs!
Ok couple more questions then. About how long do you think the upgrade to the 1900\metro would be and if you upgrade within the first year (if that's even a possibility), which bonus structure would apply at the 12\18 month point.
Edit: Also, what is the minimum ME time I would need (considering my other experience) to be direct hire for the Metro\1900.
Again, thanks for the time.
