Here's the gouge...

Rock Bottom Pay and Per Diem, Great Overnights in Sioux City and Grand Rapids, Landing Gear that always keeps landings interesting.

But at least all the planes will still have that new plane smell.

 

[Jetlinkin]

is their pay worse or better than colgen saab rates?

Grand Rapids is well outside the 750 nm ring. Aspen and Telluride (next year) are renowned for their horrible nightlife and oppressive culture.

Smaller A/C....

How many does the Q400 hold? 70?

You couldn't even take a dump in Aspen on what Lynx pays.

Ah yes. That's with an 11pm arrival and a 6am departure. Lots of time to have a few drinks ... ooops....not America West..

Ahh, but its only a turbo-prop! Isn't a law that T-prop pilots can't make more $$ than jet pilots regardless of seats?

...since you have to be a better pilot to fly a jet, not to mention the cool factor...

(that's written for all you out there, that have "props are for boats" stickers on your flight bags... TOOLS!)

Horizon's Q's carry 74-76 pax. If you are going to compare mesa payrates then it should be to the crj7.

Funny you bring that up. CRJ700 (70 seats) pays significantly MORE than the Q400 (74-76 seats) at Horizon.

Read it again slowly... this time move your lips as you read...

I ask you why, even at Horizon itself, is there a pay disparity b/n aircraft?

Before you answer, look at:

Saab, DHC-8-200, ATR pay vs. jet pay at any carrier. Regardless of seats, turbo-prop pilots have always gotten paid embarrassingly less than jet pilots (see my previous post).

Once again, read slowly and move your lips:

My second year pay at Eagle on the ATR (64-66 seats) was $24/hr. When I got to ORD on the ERJ (44-50 seats) I got paid $32/hr...

That was at Eagle, a well established airline that had 18 years of contract improvements behind it.

Lynx has yet to justify its own creation and existence before the pilot group there can reasonably demand industry leading rates.

SWA didn't pay anywhere near Delta, United, AA when they started.

I wonder how Lakes and Mesa pilots get by in Telluride? Pooper scoopers? Baggies? Jet A, large stick, half a 55 gallon drum, and a match?
