Regional Airline Pilots, what are you worth?
Just like the title says, i was sitting around here, after a long day of de-icing and flying into crap weather at every destination, so, i started thinking, 33/hr isn't really good enough for the workload endured, what do you guys think you're worth as a pilot of an airliner? And part two, do you link the pay you'd expect to the thought that a regional could be a career airline, or, building block...Let the games begin.

Depends on aircraft. On the 145 I'd say FO=$50-$60k and CA at $75-$90k. That's the equivalent I'd expect to pull back in the day when the majors made double what they do now.
I'd expect a widebody CA of 10yrs at $275k-$320K. Narrow at $200-$225K.

Is it a pilot flying a 767 from ATL to MSY?
Is it a pilot flying a CR700 from ATL to MSY?
Both are the same region and both are working the same amount.
Given that, all I can say is that the contract lift vendor CR700 pilot in that example is clearly not earning enough, at all, and the 767 pilot isn't either.

this is a worthless thread...it's gonna turn into one of those "well these damn 200 hr kids who never worked a damn are always going to keep it low"....or "those ol grumpy captains forgot what its like to be an FO"...regardless of what we all start fighting about we're still going to get paid whats posted on our airlines APC stats page...
