The female reporter who was showcasing APC on CNN was clueless; she of course did not make sure that she had her facts straight, and then showed everyone the wrong way to interpret pay based on the scales. She said and pointed out the first year pay of an FO at Colgan, and then compared it to I think Delta DC9 first year FO pay. However, she pointed to the hourly pay number, and said that was what they made for the whole year-Example: $23 hr=23,ooo a year, and $52 hr=52,000 a year.
