Go ahead and lower the bar some more, but you would never catch me or anybody else that I know flying aircraft for those wages.
You sir are confused. I am flying a caravan for more money than I made at the regional I am currently furloughed from. Not only that they pay for my medicare, which is an extra 200 a month that I dont have to pay. I can think of quite a few regionals that aren't even close to that. All I can think is you are comparing Pacific Wings FO pay to Regional FO pay, which you can't because the airplane does not require an FO. So why would the company pay an FO 50,000 a year for a single pilot airplane? Pizza delivery guys make 8 bucks an hour, which the only pay you could compare that to is Lakes and Mesa. Trust me it is not a bad place to be right now, There are a lot of pilots looking for any kind of flying with no luck. No Captain at Pacific Wings is lowering the bar for anybody, for that you must look to Mesa, Lakes, etc.
