I'll just say that the pay is a whole lot more than you're likely making at a USA regional, and far less than you'll be make flying a wide body at Emirates. As to safety, I did stay in a crew hotel in Atlanta where a gunman came in the lobby and started blasting away. And that's not the only scary overnight I've been on in the USA. Anybody for a trip to downtown Detroit? |

Why is the pay such a secret? From your cryptic analogy, that could be $3500/month. Ten times that and I still wouldn't go back to that godforsaken place.

Ok... Well good luck out there! Seriously, I wish you the best and hope you find some good crews. Stay safe.
The good news is that I don't think I'll have any problem making the required crews. I'd be more worried with "narrow body" airplanes, since pilots are really getting competive out there. I'd like to see us migrating to the C-Series in the medium term, that can hit London and Hong Kong from Kabul, at significantly lower acquisition and fuel burn cost over a B737NG. |

Anybody for a trip to downtown Detroit? Why not just say what the pay is? Why is it a big secret? Just because it's a lot more than flying at a US regional doesn't mean it's a good deal.

So the price doesn't really matter to you then, correct? It's not a secret for anybody who sends a resume and passes a basic screening. That's it. I have low patience for the salary "crazy talk" on here, so I'm not going to participate.

This will be my last comment on pay concerning these positions.
If you are interested, submit a simple resume to the email in the first post. If you're not interested, don't do anything. Should we find that your particular qualifications merit a job offer, that job offer will be in the form of an employment contract that will include the pay offered. It is then YOUR SOLE DISCRETION to sign or not sign the contract. Nobody here is asking you to sign up for any job without knowing the pay. If you have needs beyond this very simple exchange, you might not be a good fit for our airline. If this doesn't make sense to you, again, you might not be a good fit for our airline. Thank you all. I'm happy to answer questions about any other particulars, except security issues and pay. |

I met a couple of guys at CAE in Toronto last November that were working this place... Maybe that was you!?!
Myself and one other went to MSP. The other pilot went home in January and just never returned. At least he didn't leave a wake of carnage behind him. So, no, that wasn't me! |

There were four pilots to start. Two went to Toronto (CAE) for sim, and two went to Minneapolis (PanAm). One of those was sacked in January, and we're still cleaning up the mess he left. The other is the current DFO.
