I don't know why regional airline first officer isn't on there

i make 2527140....in yen

 

The fractional mins are what regional mins should be!!!

 

I love when they publish these things. You start wondering what the hell, until you get to the bottom and see the school advertisement. Drop "x" amount of dollars and you'll make this much money....sounds familiar.

 

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the intangible but incredibly important value that is called job satisfaction?!?!

Sure, I could be a restaurant manager and make good money first year, but I would hate my job!

Besides - second-year here at SKW or XJet and we're pushing most of those figures anyway.

 

does SKW or XJET have some trip or duty regs that blow everyone else out of the water that you think on $37 an hour you can make 50,000 a year.

 

Uh...yeah. There are half a dozen guys I know slated to hit 50K second-year. And I think the Saabmeister is one of 'em. I know what I'm talking about dude.

 

The money's all in the open time and being the company's biach.

 

there are often other things that come with many of these jobs that can "offset" the time spent at home. currently, my fiancee' is sitting behind me grading tests for her math class, when she's not doing that, she's grading homework, when she's not doing that, she's coaching the cheerleaders, when she's not coaching, she'll be at the game, practice, etc, and still, doing all that extra "homework" on her "home" time. The nice thing, she can sit in front of the tv while she does it, and gets to sleep in her own bed at night.

We on the contrary have schedules that change on a whim, sleep cycles that are anything but normal, work at times long hours ourselves (normally sitting around and complaining about how we're not working when having a "productivity" break). On the contrary, when we're off, we're off. When at work we have an amazing office view, When we land we can think of going out to see the sites, or just being lazy until the next show in the morning,afternoon, or night, and.....most of all......we get those awesome looking uniforms with strips. lol.

 

Last time I looked flight instructing was the entry level job, making 12k a year... Although it is still possible to get on with no instructing experience, most have to do it. Right out of college I instructed for 2 years making 12-15k and then worked another year at skyw on reserve making 15k. So by my fourth year I was up to the average entry level pay scale. Sure you have the potential to make much more further down the road, but you loose a lot of years to invest and capitalize on compound interest.... Just pray you have a buddy at ups!

 

LoL That's freakin hilarious
