Which brings us back to my original point. S-92's have fewer seats than a CRJ 900. Just like a CRJ 900 Captain makes less than a 777 Captain, the fewer seats, the lower the pay. Don't know why this is such a difficult concept to understand. if you fly a 14 seat aircraft, you are not going to get paid as much to fly as api,it who flies and aircraft with 250 seats. Helicopter pilots actually get paid more than fixed wing pilots who fly aircraft with a similar number of seats.
