Regional pay?

[wms]

I know this has been asked a million times on here but who would you guys consider to be the best or among the best regional carrier as far as pay and QOL go? It's an open question I know and I've seen the pay scales but its hard to figure out what really happens with the work rules and pay, after looking at my own on some of these sites, what you see isn't always what you get. Thanks in advance.

I think highest to lowest top three paying regionals are Horizon , Wisky, and Comair.

There is way more to it then just an hourly pay rate, but if airlinepilotcentral's pay grid is correct, i make more at XJT as 4th year CA ($67) than Air Wisconsin ($64) and Comair ($61), and horizon doesn't have a 50 seater to compare.

not slamming these other guys at all, I have no idea how their soft time, deadhead pay, vacation pay, etc etc... works, just comparing hourly rates. and it does look like some of their FO rates are better then ours.

Thanks to all for the response. I have lived the life as a commuter pilot before, hit it pretty big and now may have to return due to a strike, furlough or shutdown. Time will tell. Just trying to get a feel for what's out there and if I even want to go back for a while and see or just drop it all together.....thanks again all.

@85K as a first year FO at NetJets.....I don't even remember what it was like working 5 years at the regionals........matter of fact what the he11 am I doing on this board..my bad..



Oh I almost forgot my regional lunch selection yesterday was some sort of salmon, with mixed veggies, and a piece of cake(I don't touch the cake though, gotta watch the spare tire)...man I miss living on pretzels and mixed snacks!!:laugh:

It's only going to get worse at the regionals with age 65. The hiring pipeline to the big boys will stop. You'll be stuck as an FO on food stamp wages forever flying with some lifer regional captain who can't fly for ********************.

Cobalt is right. Try this to get a better idea of what you'll make. It's better than just looking at pay rate tables.

That's because Horizon has 0 fourth year captains. The upgrade is around 7 years, and they just cancelled a bunch of upgrades so don't be shocked if it goes up to 9 or 10 years.
