I work inside on the generation side of the company. And according to the pay level they have on the inside app its a start pay around 75K, with bonus you are looking around 85K to 90K. Bonus is 10% of your base pay x 100 to 200%. we usually get about 160%. You can look to get a 3% raise every year if they approve it and they approved this year. Pension and 401k contribute up to 6% match. I think if you want to be close to the house and don't want to deal with the airline lifestyle it will be good a fit.

No intention on flaming away, but why on earth would you move (or live) in a major metropolitan city as a qualified captain for 80-90K? I know other charter outfits paying more than that in the same equipment.....is it the benefits, pension or schedule? I'm honestly trying to comprehend why one would make the move for those wages.

2) Stepping stone to something else.
Just off the top of my head.

Agreed, everyone has differing opinions on what benefits qualify a great gig. It just baffles me that a solid company such as SC would bring qualified people in at those numbers. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. Best of luck to those applying.

I can move anywhere I want right now, but no idea what I want to do...no airline calls yet, but apps have only been in for about three weeks.
I'm open to suggestions.
