When I was a 7 year captain at AWAC I'm pretty sure I would have grossed more that a 15 year Q400 captain at Colgan when soft money is added.
If you want to work at Colgan fine but I hope you have a family to support. That way you can truly appreciate how little they pay.
Did this put us back on track?
Kind of, believe me I have been on the other side of starving wages at a regional, and I've endured a furlough. with all that is happening in the Regionals, I am glad I was afforded the opportunity to move on to corporate 135, but I like your idea to see everyone on one list per carrier. I would love to fly a 1900 on a mainline list, Hell if the pay was the same Id rather fly the beast w/o ap then a 757...lol
