Starting pay for regionals?
Hi Folks,
I was curious if I could ask for some suggestions. I am writing a business plan for a startup regional, and I have a rough idea of what CAP’s and FO’s would start out at, but was curious as to experienced CAP/FO's. If anyone could throw me some numbers, that would help a lot!
I’ve seen the god-awful YouTube video about the Regionals’ salaries, and *Gulp*, ours won’t be quite as destitute.
A little about me… I worked for TZ for 7+ yrs, and learned a wealth of knowledge from their mistakes.
Thanks for the help,
Chris

That philosophy made no practical sense. You get what you pay for... if its $7/hour, then all you'll get in return is a $7/hr attitude, and no morale or loyalty whatsoever.

The next question is what type of equipment, a 402 or turboprop or jet.

I am curious about your paper. I just started working on my MBA. Working on pre-reqs at the moment. Accelerated courses that don't require the construction on a business plan. I know the 5000/6000 level courses will though. For mutual benefit, I'll PM you.

This would be a jet serviced route, but this is all in the planning stages now. I am just starting the business plan and gathering figures and estimates.
Thanks for asking!

Not to be too critical too early, but as a pilot very familar with SBN-IND flying, I'm not so sure a jet would be anywhere near efficient enough for this route structure.
It could be done with a Caravan like Pacific Wings utilizes, or even the C-402's Cape used on the run. I would think a B1900 would almost be overkill.
PM me, I'm interested in further information if you don't mind sharing a little.
