What payrate will you fly the Q400 for? (colganites)

[Lear70]

Lear70,
MEM as I type. Day 4 of ground. How you doin?

SWEET! Congrats on the upgrade.

I just came through MEM (had to 2-leg it home from my trip). Might be through on the 21st, offered to buy for the upgrading class as well as honor a bet I lost with PCL.

I'll make sure they give you guys a shout and let you know when and where.

To turn the question: Do you think a lot of the super senior people (in BHB, ORF, PVD, MHT, CHO, CRW, etc.) jump to the Q400, or do you think it'll be more 50/50 because they don't want to uproot life as is?? I'm kinda curious...

I will take the Beech if they leave it. Nice airplane.

that is where the scale comes in. there aren't alot of people looking forward to flying out of newark. But i think if the money was right they will be able to staff em.

OK... everyone go cool off for a while with this:

OK, maybe "cool off" isn't the right phrase.

Just did a bunch of math and figured out the average pay scale of the 70 seat turboprops(ATR-72, Q400) and the 50 seat jet (CRJ-200, EMB145)....they are as follows...

these represent ASA, AmEagle, Horizon, Island Air, Trans-State avg's
70 seat tp - 1st yr cap - $56.60 1st yr fo - $24
5th yr cap - $64.40 2nd yr fo- $32
these represent every known EMB145/CRJ-200 operator
50 seat jet - 1st yr cap - $56.17 1st yr fo - $22
5th yr cap - $62.92 2nd yr fo - $30.50

Colgan's current Saab 340 pay is right at average (regions air hurt us) and the Beech is higher than average compared to other airlines with the same equip

QX is $65 for 1st yr Capt in the 400 and $29 for 1st yr FO in any a/c.
5th yr is 74 and 42.

well i took the industry averages...and per our conf call we should be getting an idea of the payrates by the end of the month

Like I said before - I make a $1.26/seat/hour in the Saab - I'd settle for a $1.25/seat/hour in the Q400 to commute to EWR. Ya'll have fun!
