How many 21 year olds have ATP's that are required to be an FO for a regional? You can't even get an ATP until you are 23. The average age for a regional FO is 33. So what are you even talking about with this 21 year old thing?
Even at $90 and hour, 75 hour guarantee that is $6750 a month. There aren't many SPIFR jobs that pay that low, especially considering the schedule where you are home every day and get 14 days off a month. I made that as an FO on S-76's in 2006.
Going from rotor wing to fixed wing is an investment in a possible future of higher pay that may or may not work out. You have to be willing to work for lower pay and a much worse lifestyle in the beginning. You are doing a disservice to helicopter pilot looking to go fixed wing by only presenting the most optimistic outcome. Nothing in aviation is for certain. You may become a captain for Delta, or you may never get there. I would be much more cautious. |
