Horizon is not that great.
Unpaid hanger pick up and drop offs at the start and end of trips.
No block or better.
Back to back 3 day trips.
Q 400 pays less but seats more and the pilots who fly it work more. I know you get what you can hold but the payrate is still there.

$72K would be guarantee for an 11 year Q400 captain. $90/hr x 80 hour guarantee x 10 bid periods a year.

A 9 year CRJ captain would be $72,800 a year.
