"I don't know how you come up with this stuff. I know very accurately where I would be had I stayed at Horizon Air."
I thought you were at Horizon in 1996. That would make you a 12th year Capt, today. According to APC, 12th year jet Capts make about 97K. ($101/hr times 80 hour guarantee times 12). Add in per diem and you're at 100K.
It's true that the jets are going away and they are going to furlough, but Horizon is a good company and when the economy bounces back I think they will be fine.
