Roughneck, The pay scale goes up a little each year you work at Ameriflight. Base pay for a 2 year Metro Captain is $37k. For a 4 yr, 40k. Plus about a $2500 annual bonus. Base bay is a guaranteed minimum, typically they can make 10-15% over that doing extra runs and charters. If they train pilots, they get more. So SW4guy is probably looking at his W2 from last year and honestly stating that he made $47k for the year. There is no B scale, everyone works off the same pay grid.
