The website says $27.48/hr. This is probably their desperation move to get 121 qualified FOs on property. Anyone hired as a DEC will probably occupy the right seat half the time.

co-captains. GLA and Silver will likely have to do this. Probably will see requests for modifications of the pay scale to be flattened out. Higher pay for FO's and lower for Captains. Or just a single scale without status differences and pay based on longevity only. It may be the only way to attract talent.

I don't think you can go any lower than $27.48/hr for captain pay.

Why go to great lakes when 5 postings down on climbto350 freight runners in Milwaukee is paying nearly double to fly the same plane? If you live in Milwaukee, the on-demand job isn't a bad gig.

I hope everyone that falls for this and goes to great mistakes gets what is coming for them. Get ready to get violated. If the feds aren't crawling all over this new 135 op and handing out LOI's and violations like candy i'll be surprised
