Most, like 95% of the regional CA’s will make (most are no where near the top of a 20 year scale)… so 150-170 an hour or 150-193k, depending wether they are working 80-95 hours a month. I think that is a very sustainable wage. I have been asked not to post any more numbers with regard to NB rates, an ask I feel obligated to comply with but it’s safe to say, I don’t think NB pilots will make the same as WB pilots, hopefully I am woefully behind in my ability to see the paradigm shift.
Everything is always baselined to the top of scale. Then everything junior to that is a LINEAR % of the top. Oh wait
I'm no pie-in-sky out-of-touch-with-reality dreamer either. But when I've got a good shot I take it.
