Just curious.



Min garuantee at XJ 1st year for FO's is 1,815 per month from day one in comparison if that is still accurate.

The company I worked for has 20 aircraft 3 turbo props and pays far better than Airnet(got paid between the 5-10 year lear CA rate for a pa 31) has a 401k option and benifits. I saw the stability on that side also and it's not any better than going to an airline. Do they pay you during training at Airnet? Does Airnet give you extra bonuses because 1st year prop pay is only 22,xxx a year? Atleast at Airnet you are salaried so that is nice to have the garuanteed monthy salary.
Did a little thing like Mike saying Airnet was hiring and made a better first year pay than the regionals really set you off like this? It's just a fact, man - nothing more. There are positives and negatives to both types of flying as you well know. I don't know why you sound so defensive about all this. Mike has told you nothing but simple facts and you seem to be ignoring them.

Our hourly pay seems low - but we get paid on a duty rig system. We get a lot of our pay at 1.25 x base and 1.50 x base. I have had two runs at Airnet. My first payed 38k/ year. My second pays 46k a year. This is first year prop PIC pay.

We have good benefits to include health, dental, 401k, gym membership reimbursal, FAA medical reimbursal, and a host of others. The company pays for moves, gives time off for moves, time off for interviews, 2 weeks vacation first year, flight benefits, and a whole bunch more.

Not cheerleading - just giving the facts.
