I thought Gama paid the XL Captains $120-130K at one point? Did the Captain pay for jets actually decline to be even with the King Airs?
King air pay up, jet lay down. Everything is even. Right now I don’t think anyone will make 90 as a X captain, they’re not hiring direct entry, and pay is based on longevity, you don’t go backwards as a line pilot.
