Aaah, the life of a pilot at a bottom feeding hub raider.

 

[siucavflight]

Is this Mesa?

 

[gator_hater]

Looks like shuttle america

 

[Stifler's Mom]

9.27/hour 4-day? I hope you have trip and duty rigs for that thing, or are atleast on reserve collecting guarantee.

hopfully my bottom feeding hub raider will take your flying one day john pennkamp

Hmmm, here's my definition of a really BAD trip:

You make more in PER DIEM than you do in flight pay.

This trip comes pretty close to that criteria.

At Shuttle America 1st year pay according to Airline Pilot Central is $23/hr

Lets assume the trip will unfold exactly as the schedule describes it

9.27 hrs x $23/hr = $213.21 in flight pay

Time away from base = 64.45hrs x $1.60/hr per diem = $103.12

Back in my regional days, I tried to average 5hrs flight pay/day.

wow what a joke!! I would probably be deadheading myself in the same day instead of wasting the first day deadheading just so get to SLC then sit in the hotel all day the next day.

 

[SYX328]

Good ole ASA or Comair schedule

Unfortunately, at some airlines if you drop your DHs, it comes right off your min guarantee. If you had very many trips like the example given, you'd need every bit of your min guarantee to have any kind of paycheck.
