Regional F.O. pay is pretty close to 99 Captain pay with alot better quality of life. Regional Capt in 18 months you are doing better than type rated Capt. Multiple guys getting hired at legacies with a couple hundred 121 TPIC. Type rated pay probably needs to be bumped, check out key limes rates!

Thanks in advance .
Thanks in advance .
You could be home every night if on a scheduled run. Or, if you're outstation based, home every "day". Or on the charter side, gone for 5 days. Or sent out of base to help out somewhere and gone for 1-2 weeks. But yes, it is very possible to be home at night which is one reason why there are a few people there long term.

Thanks very much for the response . GEG , PDX and possibly PHX are the preferred domiciles . I am type rated in the SA227 so that would be first choice and EMB 120 a second choice. Otherwise , I would be more interested in getting the domicile as opposed to the airplane .
Thanks again .

Be99 captain is 50k, others are around 70k, and you can make more but that’s extra work days than the 5 they promise. Plus I hear the CEO told the pilots they aren’t getting any pay raises even with other part 135 cargo ops outpacing them on the same equipment.
