Per hr amt to leave a non flying job to fly?
Like many others I do not think there is a pilot shortage, there is only a shortage of pilots who won't fly for what is offered.
45$ an hour to start is my number that I would consider risking everything you read in these forums and the horrible QoL one has to endure to go fly.
Until then I just fly for a hobby.
Just curious what are others magic $ number to leave a decent job for a regional?
1800 hrs 110 multi. Comm Inst.
private rotorcraft
ATP written, FEX written

Or you can suck it up for a couple years to get there, like everyone else.

Forget changing the pay RATE. Keep what we have.
How about you pay me when I'm on duty. If you want me to sit 8 hours of ready reserve, pay me 8 hours, not 4. 14 hour duty day? Sure!
We need some serious change in this pathetic industry...

I'm embarrassed to post the number I just figured out ... but despite that income I think several times a week about returning to my former career.
