It will be 3 more years before the #1 Virgin Captain makes more than a Horizon CRJ Captain.
Thanks for undercutting every narrowbody major airline Captain in the United States.
DOH for our most senior CAs is 4/06. A 5th year pay VA CA is 120/hr. It takes 18 years to get there at Horizon. Kinda apples to oranges fish breath.
What does an 18th year RJ CA make in the Dash when the CRJs are pulled? APC still says all CRJs gone by end of 2012. Is this still true?
I was a D8-300 CA in 1992 with Air Willie. The rate then was 75/hr. None of us have kept up with inflation and we are all underpaid. While I loved the Dash and thought the CRJ was fun, I would still rather be doing transcons here than multi leg days there.
And your Horizon guys all get flow through, right? When Air Willie was Air Willie, before the UAX crap, one started as a first year prop FO and ended up as a 20 year plus jet CA. One list, one certificate, a great contract and everyone was one family. Those were the good old days.
Suggestion fish breath: Find some peace in your life. I feel sorry you are so negative about your work life you have to lash out at others. Try volunteer work, Habitat for Humanity always needs nail holders.
