"Keep in mind that upgrade on the dash is about 6 months if you have the time."


Comforting...

Word has it from one of your furloughed guys (who isn't comming back) that they offered a Dash Capt. to a guy just off newhire IOE because he had over 2000tt or something like that.

If you look at our company website under "pilots" Allegheny still says upgrade in 24 to 36 months. It doesn''t mention anything about downgrade.:mad:
 
Wow!!! Those DHC-8 payscales are atrocious. I made more at Island Air under their old contract 2 years ago.
 
I just hope that's a typo for the Corporate Airlines Jetstream pay.
 
MESA 30-74seat Turbo Prop DOS + 18 mo
YEAR CAPT FO CAPT FO
1 $37.64 $18.15 $38.39 $18.51
2 $39.10 $20.39 $39.88 $20.80
3 $40.52 $21.98 $41.33 $22.42
4 $42.19 $23.63 $43.03 $24.10
5 $43.70 $24.33 $44.57 $24.81
6 $45.23 $46.13

Here is Horizon Air Dash 8-200
year
1 Capt $43.95 FO $24.98
5 Capt $49.77 FO $31.16

DOS + 24 mo
1 Capt $45.49 FO $25.85
5 Capt $51.51 FO $32.25

Keep in mind that both of these were signed near the same time. And the Horizon has a higher Pay Scale for there Q-400. Mesa pays the same all the way from 30-74 seats. Mesa has let the bar dip.
 
Both are post 9/11

Mesa's is newer which makes it worse. They new what Horizon was making and still took 6.81 $ an hr less for first year FO's

To do the very same Job, and it is just that a Job. The cool feeling wont be there the third Christmas in a row you spend alone in some Hotel room hudreds of miles from your wife and kids.

However I dont blame any new hires from going there. Even Mesa beats the heck out being a CFI. Just know what your singing up for.

comes down to upgrade time

Can't knock the Mesa pay rates, b/c you'll upgrade faster. You'll be a five-year FO at Horizon while your buddies who started at Mesa will be jet captains.
 
What's the time requirements for the upgrade to Dash Captain?
