Now, if it was used for what it was designed for- regional airplane, parked in the hangar with a dedicated pit crew- it might treat you OK. Unfortunately, that prices one out of the competition.
Bottom line, wrong airplane for that job.

I was just reading in another thread that every regional pilot only makes around 16-25K and will be making around $30K for the next 10 years and won't be able to pay off loans or eat anything but raman noodles for a decade
Something must be wrong.

Second year where I'm at also breaks that payscale quite easily if you're a lineholder, with quite a few more days off as well. Sorry to see this Avantair guys... Looks like they want a revolving door there.

It really is disappointing because fractional should NOT make less than us.. Those guys work hard and have a whole different job than airline guys in my opinion.

Completely agree. I've met a few Avantair crews when I was doing charter and corp... They're a good group, and I hope they don't have to put up with this BS for long.
