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
 
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!

Let me just start first by saying that we do not have Q400's! However, our management at Comair has a hard o... er, intense desire, for that plane. They have been talking about them for over a year now, and they included rates for that plane in the imposed work rules that are going to go into effect tonight at midnight. This is not 100% set as of yet, but I have them in print in front of me...

CA 1st yr: 48.72 5yr: 55.82 10 yr: 64.71 18 yr (max): 78.11
FO 1st yr(all equip): 21.00 2nd yr: 31.50 5 yr: 36.60 9 yr (max): 38.25

now, with those gems posted, we can only train so many people at once so some of you may have to wait to get on here.

Like I said...this is not 100% official, but I have the printed "contract" in front of me as we speak. We'll see what the real terma are today or tomorrow at some point. If, and I mean IF they are any different, I will post them.

If those rates are for real, you guys should be RACING for the organization ballots.

What a joke. All-new industry low for pay. :(
 
These are the rates that the company is going to impose on us. As I understand it, our MEC will not put rates on the table for a plane that the company does not even possess. I have no idea where they would stand on those rates. I would assume average plus something.
 
At Island Air, being ALPA, we got no where near Horizon(Teamsters) rates for the -400. And ALPA was happy about the rates we did get. Island air was bidding for this flying also and lost to you guys for a reason, and our -400 planes are gone.
Good luck getting a decent scale.
And prepare for them to show up maxed out at 78 seats. Ours did after rates were negoatiated for a 74 seater.
