 |  Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston As I understand it they just lowered captain pay to $30.50 an hour, which is crap for captain on a 1900D.

| Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston We pay $43,000 a year for 1900 captains, and we don't have to haul any people.

| Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston We're don't do trips like airlines do, so you're in your own bed every night so hence, no per diem. I'd like to end up...I dunno, somewhere. Metro or 1900? No clue as of yet. It'll be a little while before I'm there

| Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston What does $30.50 per hour equal to per year - cause on a 70 hour per month you are looking at $25,000 - IS THAT RIGHT? |

| Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston I recently did a few legs in the NE without an APU. Holy crap is it cold up there this time of year. Every now and then you see postings for 1900 Capts from various companies (Big Sky was one, Air Midwest another) and I have to say my hat is off to you if you can hold that job for the 1.5 - 2 years needed to build up the PIC. You certainly deserve to get to a higher rung on the ladder faster doing that job. I've gone soft.

| Re: Big Sky interviewing in Boston I looked into this, I found some people who are at Big Sky and they didn't have the greatest things to say. It's PIC time, but good luck living in BOS on that kind of money!

A 1900D captain is certainly worth more than $30K/year. It's basically a larger King Air 200 and I think that pays a considerably more on the corporate side.

A better indication might be to compare to to "industry average" 121 1900 pay, which sadly is what it is!!! CommutAir - $30/hr Colgan - $32/hr Great Lakes - $26/hr Gulfstream - $32/hr -------------------- Average = $30/hr

The captains have it easy. Imagine being the FO having to stand outside the plane in the Northeast weather 12-15 times a day making sure the passengers don't trip going up and down the 'airstair door'. Within six months there will be NO more 19hondos at my company. Last edited by Seggy; February 19th, 2007 at 20:28. | |
