I personally know of many respected regional first officers that DEFINITELY make more than $492 dollars every two weeks. The experience is different for everybody folks, take what Skyhigh is saying with HALF a grain of salt.
The writings on the wall.....an entire generation is getting ready to retire. A whirlwind of movement is getting ready to happen, all that is left to figure out is how soon this attrition storm will start.
$492 every two weeks is what
I made as a regional pilot. I certainly hope that pilots today make more however from what I read about Colgan pilots it does not sound like they make much more.
Keep dreaming about retirements. The same thinking got me though a lot of dark times as a pilot, and it might still come to pass, however it does not necessarily translate in a better future.
The real question is if the jobs will be worth having by then. Is it really worth it to go through all this to finally make it to a legacy and earn slightly more than a mailman?
