I'd like to be PAID more, not "PAYED" more. I'm sorry, could not help it!

It doesn't help that Gulfstream is getting SAABs and are being flown by pilots who don't depend on the salary and are happy making peanuts while playing airline pilots!

Why is FMS considered difficult to use?

It's like bragging that you ride a bike with training wheels.

The Saab is typically referred to as the grinder because of the complexity of the systems.

Them Swedes built a tank of a plane! But put it in the summer heat of IAH and it performs about as well as a tank would getting off the ground

Pay has been backwards for awhile in this industry. Complexity/risk level of the flying you do, has less affect on pay than the uninitiated would think. If there was some direct relationship between 'toughness' and pay, I would think turboprop 121 pilots, CFIs, and 135 pilots would *generally* be paid much more!w

Wait, what? Pinnacle's Saab pilots and SKW's EMB pilots make more than our ATR pilots!
