* R – Reserve paid at 75 hrs/mnth x 10.4 bid periods/yr
* Numbers based upon a former Horizon friends of mine
* Yrs not on reserve are calculated at 85 hours per month seeing this is a regional industry average for line holders
* BEST case scenario for reserve and upgrade!
* Unsure of when a JR CA can hold Q400 or CR7 for higher pay.

Thank You, just trying to prove a point. My point is that your PAY isn't what people make it out to be.

Lots of talk on this forum about comparing a pilots salary to a bus drivers, so I thought I would check it out:
First year bus driver in Calgary makes a guaranted $27,000 a year(60 hour guarantee at $19 an hour) .
First year Jazz FO makes $35,000 first year flat guarentee(tho jazz must pay by far the most of any north american regional year 1
bus drivers max out at $41,000 here after 4 years... a jazz 4 year FO makes $44,000
Its still frusterating that the high school drop out loading bags onto the Jazz RJ makes more then the FO flying it does!
