in saying that most turbo prop operators aren’t paying for ATP
- Silver Airways as mentioned above
- Connect Airways (WMA)
- Ravn Alaska
To name a few …. I am sure there are few others that we don’t know of as of now.
*** Question for regional guys who are already flying in US ***
Also with regionals with $50 an hour at 75 hours min pay guarantee makes you $3750 a month… take home after tax and insurance is $2600 approx.
Is this survivable salary? Are people struggling with rising cost of living as the salaries aren’t going up at regionals for now?
