10 yr TOTAL: $417,872? WOW without Per Diem
* Q400 FO 5 years, Q2/3 CA first upgrade
* 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!

my mans right, its like the people that are "starving" actors we all take the sacrifice in hopes of one day "making it big" ie. SWA UPS, etc............... In reality we spend a majority of our career making less than than people with no education, I hope it works out for all of us................but let me ask you this Whos career is on the line with every clearance, dispatch release etc.................. certainly not a Financial Advosor etccccccccccccccc
