A Friend of mine was a Flight Engineer for Focus... merely a stepping stone until he go on with another carrier. The pay is based on flight time and not block time as is the tradition with other carriers. Do the math Total block, less taxi time = flight time. Not withstanding push back engine start times alone, taxi times can be quite considerable at the larger aircraft. That can add up to a considerable amount of pay.
