I can assure you that there are many highly experienced ATP pilots at Emerald, with tens of thousands of hours on type between them; those who were transferred onto the ATP by Emerald were all experienced pilots on other jet or turboprop aircraft. Paywise, Emerald pay the going rate for turboprop drivers - other ATP operators have advertised for crew recently and I know that nobody from Emerald has applied because the pay is no better, in one case actually less. What do Denim pay their pilots? And did Rossair pay theirs at the death?
