Not sure how accurate this is but it seemed to have a pay scale for most of the airlines.

Airline transition, Where to?

The numbers are correct for my employer.
This guy has an interesting concept of what airlines are "Major".
N
I would take that in a heartbeat.
Believe it ...
Wouldn't be difficult.. Just ran a practice bid 2 days ago.. And the junior Captain is a fall 2004 hire... And only 11 of 46 vacancies filled in the right seat..
So looks like they will likely hire a handful; like they did a couple of years ago to fill the MD-11 Anchorage openings.
Numbers are close but not accurate for my company..
I prefer http://airlinepilotcentral.com/airlines.html
The numbers are closer plus gives lots of company info.. Run by a dude from UPS and another at United.. They keep it very up to date..
It's why I left at 15 years. 15 years always in the cockpit. Didn't want to spend the last five at a desk or on a grey boat where I wasn't flying. Good advice, A4s.
What's so shocking is the only airline to mirror the pre-9/11 wage scales is FedEx. Actually ... I guess there's no shock in that case at all . Some of this guy's "majors" are more like "minors".
Were I still flying the Whale, I would be getting @ 25% less cash and flying 10% more ... sounds like a 35% pay cut in real terms; basically what my F/O's used to make ... plus the benefits have all gone south .... doesn't sound like a good deal, comparatively speaking.
But if you have to work for somebody besides yourself, the job of airline pilot still beats most of the alternatives out there ...

One of my old DIVOs left to fly for UPS. He said he choose cargo over pax, because cargo doesn't scream!
SWOs DO SCREAM when being flown somewhere. Especially if you do the Billy Baru approach to a FFG/DDG.
Swo's are not human, so they are cargo, not pax

Where the hell did they all go wrong!
Phrogdriver, that's why I'm getting out now. Possible 5 years on a staff will not make you competitive for an airline gig. Also, the timing now is decent with a lot of airlines beginning to hire. Hopefully catch the beginning of the wave and have a lot of guys come in right behind you for a furlough cushion. Getting on with the guard or reserves is also a great opportunity. Continues to build your hours, maintain currency and another revenue stream for those first few years (not to mention the support if you do find yourself out of a job). They also let you continue to be part of the gun club, which I think is the biggest draw. If I could stay at a squadron for 20 years, even with current deployment schedules, I would. The reserves are as close to that as you can get.

Did the same and it worked for me! Qualified, Current, and Available!
+1 .... there you go --- Bluto's got the program figured out.
That particular program kept me in a Navy cockpit for 18+ years, and got me 29+ years in an airline cockpit, to boot.

Maybe A4s can make his own airline..
With real customer service
(yeah, its not a 747, but its what the "make your own airline" sign generator had)
Man, there is just something about a women in polyester.....
I'm sold to the man through year 16. At that point I'd be retarded to split and give up 1/2 pay. What is a reasonable amount of flying to stay current for four years? 10 hours a year? 10 hours a month? Gouge, anyone?
