You made the statement, back it up with facts please.
As noted in my earilier post please do not include per diem.
Sorry to keep you waiting there 18Wheeler....(sounds like you were getting impatient) The Space Monkey has to go to work sometimes too you know..... and occasionally have a life outside of posting on a message board... As for not including per deim no prob... Since as you saw it actually made Focus look better, as you also saw my equations also showed a computed base before I added perdeim.... So 5 year CA pay Focus Air (no per deim) = $91,440... Let's look at some regionals (all calculations are based on guarantee so the numbers are probably lower than actual pay for a line RJ CA) ... 17 year CA CRJ 200 at Air Whiskey $92,700 top AW pay 20 year CA $101,700; CHQ 15 year E-175 CA $92,700 top CA pay 19 years - $102,600; Horizon 11 year CRJ7 CA $94,080, top pay 18 year CRJ7 CA $116,160; Mesa 17 year CJR 900 CA $91,884 top pay 20 year CRJ 900 CA $98,800; ASA top CRJ 7 CA pay 18 year $91,800; Comair 13 year CJR 7 CA pay $91,800, top CRJ 7 CA pay 18 years $106,200…. Anyway I tired of doing this now but you see my point plus all of my calculations that I just did are based of guarantees and you probably know as well as I do that unless you are on RSV it is very rare for a regional guy to fly just guarantee… So my numbers are on the low side and my point remains the same there is no reason for a guy flying a whale to top out lower than a guy flying a regional which is a fraction of the size…regardless of how many or few years it takes. The whole point of the McNary Watress Act of 1930 was bigger equip with more engines = more pay…
