With inflation as it is right now, that CBA basic pay rate is gonna have to increase to keep up with other industries. Hell, rank and file sub-5 year floor nurses are negotiating 38/hr (72K) sight unseen in Nebraska (anecdote from a wife's former nursing school classmate) for crying out loud. A such, single-pilot T-prop work in this economy is a 90K affair minimum, otherwise I'm getting my butt into nursing school lol.

I'm watching these outfits passively for a post mil retirement gig. The airline thing doesn't appeal to me and we're looking for a small metro for retirement, so these jobs line up well.
