You keep proving my point.  A 4,000 hour airplane pilot flying a Cessna 172 is still probably going to make $23 an hour.


When airline pilots got furloughed and took jobs flying a Piper Navajo or Towing Gliders no one paid them extra for their airline experience like a helicopter utility pilot would get paid for longline or firefighting experience.  LOL all you want but why is this concept beyond you?  pilots are typically paid by the size of the aircraft they fly and helicopter pilots get paid more than fixed wing pilots when flying similarly sized aircraft.  


A PC-12 is about the same size and weight as an S-76.  Captains pay is around $65 an hour with a 75 hour guarantee for a Part 135 passenger job.  That is $4875 a month.  Anyone flying an S-76 Part 135 making that?
