Lynx CA Pay

[CoATP]

Lynx (the Frontier Regional to be flying Q400's) is apparently going to pay their first year CA's (yes they are all first year CA's) $50 per hour.

"Reliable source" is F9 CA [better than the gas pumping line guy but not exactly the wall street journal]

So 76 seats at $50 for the CA means what for the FO.

Well that number is also posted on the Lynx pilot advertisements so I'd say it's pretty much confirmed.

They have to keep it lower to work there or the Frontier FO's would blow their lid. Right?

It appears that they may be following Horizon's pay scale. Too bad they are not paying Island Air Rates ($68 hr. 1YR CA).

I also ready the $50. hr rate on an employment web site. Wonder if they pay for getting snowed in?

If Denver is your base....how would you get paid for getting snowed in?
P.S. Denver has more sunny days per year than San Diego....just ask my actual instrumrnt column.

Island's 1st year CA pay is $68? According to APC, $68 isn't seen until year 15 on DH8 (believe they don't have any 400's).

Where did you see the advertisement?

Rumor has it that Lynx management (frontier) is going to hire mostly Dash 8 Capt.s due to the fact that they only need differences training for Q-400 qualification. Thus, saving the company tons of money on street capt. training.

Horizons 1st year 400 pay for Capt. (which we have none of course) is 65.00 hr.

1st yr FO is 29 2nd yr 39.

50 an hour, while not unexpected, is a terrible number.

Very Ornstein-esque. If there's no trouble filling new hire classes, then they must be paying too much!

And so it goes...
