Just curious... nowhere near flying one (or ever likely to be) but I'd like to know what a Metro driver earns - say with Big Sky Express or similar. Trying to (in a roundabout way) calculate operating costs per block hour for an assignment.

Anyone help?

Are you asking what they get or what they should get?

If it is the later then look at the GA award. Go to the appropriate weight section with associated allowances e.g Instrument rating, Turbine etc and nut it out.
That is what assignments are for :-)

From memory....

F.O approx 34K p.a (plus allowances)

Capt approx 49K p.a (plus allowances)

Rex are different as Capt's and F.O's on both the Saab and Metro get the same. So I think its a bit more for them.
