thats not too bad, for a turbo-prop, problem is, its what 78 seats????? Colgan is making a considerable amount from CAL to do this flying, they should be paying you guys more, but pay isnt always the issue, work rules etc....................

But yes, it needs to be higher...especially FO pay.
Agreed. FWIW, Lynx is telling the captains interviewing now that it's going to be $50/hour to start.

That sucks. That looks lower than GoJets , and GoJet's only flies 70 seat aircraft, while Colgan flies 78 seaters!

Well, I think some airlines can survive without unions. Skywest (at least right now) is one of them. But Colgan needs one now. They are amongst the lowest paid in the industry.

P.S., Pinnacle's profit QUADROUPLED last year!

The turboprop market is coming back and Colgan is one of the only one out there that has multiple RFP's out for TP's alone.

The regional jet is a dying breed. Or should I say "Regional flying with a regional jet is a dying breed"

What is a fair wage?

$15000/year per 10 seats?

CRJ 1000 would pay $150,000/yr?

CRJ2 would pay $75,000/yr?

First, I think it is safe to assume a fair wage is better than what GoJet's is offering for even smaller airplanes! Call me crazy, but I think that is a good assumption.

Second, I like the idea of about $1 an hour per pax. Slightly higher on the lower end (B-1900, EMB-120, CRJ-200). Slightly lower on the higher end. (777, 747)

You mean per seat?

I agree- No 777 pilot should make over $500/hr. $300 is a lot respectively.
