What is the pay for metro cpatain?

 

[Trogdor]

You don't want to work there.

 

[haulingthemail]

I don't want to make a career that. But I'm getting furloughed from my current job and I need something to pay the bills until some of my other leads come through.
So does anyone have a pay scale?

Pay

Metro pay is around 33,600/year plus $20/day in per diem. I don't know if it has changed sinced I've worked there. I have a few friends there and before you go that route,

They will make you sign a one-year contract, have the FAA up your A$$, and if you leave before one year is up. Expect to appear in small claims court.

Check out Mayo Aviation, or some other companies at KAPA.

If you go there you'll hate life, I recommend looking somewhere else first. PM ME I can give you phone numbers of pilots there and they'll tell you whats up over there.

Avoid that place like the clap. They don't do maintence on their planes and the owner is a bigger sheister then our vice president.

Do they offer jumpseats?

 

[Freightcowboy]

From my understanding they do! Not when I was there however. If you go to www.keylimeair.com there should be a general contact number and you can ask.

Not sure about captain pay, but you have to cough up $24,000 to be a FO.

If you are a captain, you have to have your CFI, as you will be giving instruction.

Rog, thanks!

If not, Great Lakes goes just about everywhere they do.

Thanks, but not the leg I need - DEN - HDN!

 

[Trogdor]

In that case, Mesa.

 

[MD11Fr8Dog]

In that case, Mesa.

Mesa is my current ride, but 4 hrs between my FedEx arrival in DEN and Mesa's first departure to HDN is a bit long!!

Try your feeder, Corporate Air. I thought one of their Caravans went to HDN.

Nope. Two issues. No jumpseating on the Caravans is allowed and the Caravan in HDN comes out of Casper.

 

[Captain Oveur]

No jumpseating on the Caravans?
Fascinating....
I guess many of them don't have 2 seats, though.

Not a matter of the seats not being there, its just not allowed!

 

[Captain Oveur]

In that case, it doesn't say much for management's confidence in the Caravan.
Mainline pilot's confidence either, LoL.
No particular criticism implied, I'm just a bit surprised.

I believe it has to do with the lease agreement that FedEx has with the Feeder operators. FedEx owns most of the planes the feeders operate. I'm not exactly sure the reasoning, but that's the way its always been!

 

[Captain Oveur]

Okay, thanks for the info.

MD11,

Were you able to get ahold of anyone?? If you haven't I believe the pilots show up around 5:30a.m maybe even 6 am

Leave probably around 6:30a.m or so.
