Msg ID: 2739981 Update: another regional pay increase with guaranteed flow  +12/-0

Commute Air just upped their pay.  Not as good as PSA/Piedmont but it's because who you flow through to.  Get this:

If you use your $25K/year bonus towards your annual pay this is how it works:

$90K first year, more than $90K second year (not sure how much pay increases that second year), $116K if you make Captain going into year 3 (best case scenario of course), then ride that for next few years until you flow to United which has the best pay /benefits in the industry.

If you're under age 45 it's MORE than worth it to start working on your ratings and consider trying making the switch.  At a minimum, just give it a try.  It will make you a better aviator, you can at least say "I tried it", and your helicopter job will still gladly take you back if it doesn't end up fitting your lifestyle.

There's never been a better time!!!

Here's United's pay scale:https://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines/legacy/united_airlines

>You'll drop to $76K the first year (all the majors do this), then you'll make $113K your second year, $132K year three... then the pay just gets crazy stupid after that for THE REST OF YOUR CAREER. 

If you ever just do ONE extra flight a month (i.e., workover for you HAA guys) your jaw will drop at what you can make in those intervening years until the pay goes crazy and you can start bidding on GREAT work schedules.

Next time you're at the airport and get a chance to talk to a an airline pilot at the majors, ask them what the company puts in their 401K without even requiring a match.  It's insane.

I have a feeling SkyWest will be next to announce a raise.

Will I have to work or can I still show up, pre-flight, crew brief, check e-mails, nap, take a 90 minute flight, de-brief, eat a sandwich, TV, internet, nap, brief on-coming pilot and go home?

But for sure I’m interested in that kinda money

the most srnsical approach but remember flying airplane is you, crew, an instrument panel, and the grey innards of cloud, or blackness of night.  Money is great, the job shucks - so does HAA.
