What model 747's are they? And why is Polar ground theirs?

Is $130K for 747 cargo good? To me it seems like a Captain should be paid a lot more then that for flying that big bird. I know it's not the airlines, but still.

Yeah, I'll believe this when my $hit turns purple and tastes like rainbow sherbert.

Guess what? I watched my boy get borne last night... His ********************... oh, never mind!

$130k? Not hardly.

Check out the yearly pay for a 5 yr Captain (flying guarantee) at some of the well-known 747 cargo operators:

Atlas $106,392
Polar $ 93,600
Southern $ 80,640
Kalitta $ 80,520
Tradewinds $ 77,760
Evergreen $ 70,200

Most have no retirement, and a few just a small 401k match.

Polar is furloughing and Tradewinds has a bunch of crews on furlough.

You can only do marginally better than flying a commuter RJ and get treated about the same by the company.

Hi!

Draginass:

That must be their base pay. Last year at Kalitta the FOs were making about $70k.
