USA Jet 35K 1st day of GS for the DA-20 and 38K 1st day of GS DC-9, no junior manning, hard days off, $1.83/hr per-diem, $300 per diem advance 1st week of GS and tuition reimbursement. But no glamour, have to wear a pager, don't get to walk down the concourse in uniform, with a neat hat. Upgrade comes too fast for most low timers to handle. It is not about the money; it is about glamour and respect.
