The nice thing about this type of system from one perspective is you don't have to retrain on a new airplane, or maybe more importantly, not have to switch bases and commute, to get higher pay as an FO. However, for those in the Dash that have SJS, it sucks, but they should have known coming to Horizon that you would most likely fly props the whole time.

For Captains, you are paid based on what you fly.
