I’ve always heard pick a regional you’d be happy to be at if you never make a Major. Being at SPS and seeing as how I think it will always be associated with AA with the AF base here and all the transporting of students that go here to DFW I think I’d be safe at ENVOY forever minus a lay-off. I’m just wondering how long it would take as a captain to make say 85k about what I do now with Envoy. Thanks again guys for all the responses who’s not even with y’all yet.
Assuming it will take you 2 years to get 1000h 121 to upgrade then you are looking at :
Year 3 CA pay 80$/h.
75 hours guarantee a month x 80$/h x 12 adds up to 72k/ yr. Add some perdiem and OT and you can easily make 80-90k as a CA on 3rd yr pay scale.
