we no longer have a SIC out in rural Alaska and so it's a min of 1000 hours to get out to the boonies
we have 6 340B's and 1 340A along with 4 Metro 3's and one metro 23 based in Anchorage
don't know about lower 48 but zero experience with a thousand hours probably starts at $30,000 a year ( a guess) and our senior captains are right abought $95-100 thousand
that includes captains who stay in the bush
for example a 7 year 135 pilot flying a caravan or navajo makes the same as a SAAB captain
it seems after 7 years here we all go on the same pay scale no matter where you fly or what you fly
