You're kidding right? Yes we make 19 an hour but with our credits you'll easily make near 30K your first 12 months (including per diem). Will you make that at XJT, NO. A fiend of mine just finshed his first year at XJT and he didn't make near that much. Yes second year pay is more than the Mighty Bro but not more than our RJ. Plus during your second year on the Mighty Bro you can upgrade to CA which is significantly more than your 2nd year pay.
Plus, jump at the chance to fly larger equipment? Yes they jump once they get 1000/100 and pass up a XJT, Eagle, Mesa, Piedmont, Colgan and many other interviews at 600/100. If you wait till your at a 1000TT your not jumping at anything. You're jumping at 500-800TT. And don't say you don't get hired at XJT at 600/100, I have 7 friends that all got hire at XJT under 800 and most just over 600.
