Last time I checked 95 dollars an hour was still ALOT of money to ALOT of people.
95/hour is a lot... unless you live in SFO.

Turned it down. I made more as an F/O in my current city than a captain in SFO.


No, I don't commute.

I would be very surprised if any one made money in their first 3 years of operation (in the US).

Yeah and ALOT of people do not:

- Put their career on the line everytime they enter a simulator or medical office
- Have to be away from family 15 to 20 days a month

95.... Some Dode Chodeler in two or three years will say, "55 is a lot of money for some people!" How much do you think you are worth?

Do you honestly think the pilots will never unionize?????? Come on. Skybus is even getting a union.

Yeah, it's funny how they always forget that part . . . until the nose gear is cocked 90 degrees off for landing! Then they could not pay you enough to put the darn thing down in one piece. :eek:
