I think Airludy has something in his/her closet that he is not saying. Did you wash out somewhere or is it something else that suddenly made you hate the airline industry. I think you are hiding something....Common let us in on your dark secret! Did you not know the pay of a regional pilot before starting into aviation? If you didn't then you didn't do your research and its your bad. But why dis the others dont you have better things to do like find a different career.airludy said:That must be what its like....I mean everyone is willing to work for beans there must be something great about it.
sounds like more $ in the king air. Why leave for a regional that is probably 1/2 the pay. Also PIC in the King Air must be better (more valuable flight time) than right seat regional? Curious as to your decision, I may have to make a similar decision one day soon. -BestAxel said:I flew a King Air for a corporation for $45k/year. Left to fly for a regional. Good move.

jehtplane said:Good for him. Do you work at a regional? How do you know what it is like? Does he have 401K, Per Diem, premium pay, junior assignment pay, rescheduling pay, union protection, seniority list, pass benefits etc etc.......

Per Diem: Everyone has Per Diem
junior assignment pay: Means your QOL sucks and your being screwed by scheduling
rescheduling pay: See above
Union Protection: Joke
Seniority List: Long time to upgrade
Pass benefits: buy a ticket for $59
Any other inputs?
jehtplane said:really, you can fly to europe first class for 59 bucks, let me know what airline that is!
Redmeat said:Yeah, try pass traveling to Europe and back with your spouse, and see what happens when you get on and she doesn't. Do you leave her in Europe? (maybe)
