I'm sure it's a mistake but 22.00 a flight hour to start on the EMB-120?

75 hours X 22 =1650.00 a month or $19,800 this can't be correct?

I think that is correct. I also think that people have been waiting in a hiring pool for a couple of years now in anticipation of making those wages. I also think it may be more than they are currently making as flight instructors. Or they may be spending their own hard earned money buying flight time to maintain some currency while they wait to get those coveted first airline positions.

Bottom line, it's a bitch getting started in this industry!

Totally rotten, but par for the course. Not surprised.

Odd to be hiring after the summer boom. Unless?

Except for those hired, expect to have your tater streched by the SS goons until you get off reserve. Welcome to poverty!
