Pilot Pay

Kit Darby: [FONT=&quot]“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you during the past 20 years. However, the current status of the airline industry and the economy has made our business unsustainable, and we are closing.”Prospective pilots just aren’t going to get this kind of pep talk from their guidance counselors.[/FONT] [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

"The lowest top-scale captain’s salary was $123,480 at JetBlue Airways, and the highest among passenger airlines was again at Southwest: $181,270 a year."

Assuming "top-scale" really means "bottom scale", FLTops must not have thought the E190 is flown at mainline USairways becuse there CA's start at $79,000 (and top out in 16 yrs at $99,000).

Which is utterly pathetic.

"pilots typically can earn more with overtime."

Sweet... might as well add "holiday pay" while he's at it.
