- What’s the take-home pay (after tax) USA Regionals are offering new FOs, and what is it for Captains?
- It seems like the Regionals with older aircraft (ERJ145) are paying more than carriers with the ERJ175, right? I guess they need to pay more to attract applicants to an older type?
Personally, I’d rather the ERJ175 as they are common in Latin America where I have an interest in living.
I’m and Aussie and have an FAA ATP already, but no jet time and only experience in small turbine a/c, plus I’m 46 years old so unlikely to flow onto a major airline.
If I went onto a Regional in the USA what, would be the best salary I could expect about 3 years down the line? The dilemma for me is I can currently take home 8k usd a month plus, just flying a caravan, which is probably already comparable to what a USA regional Captain would make? Right? I’m tossing around the idea of applying to the regionals, but maybe not such a good idea for an old chap?
