Cityjet is has/is hiring former RJ85 Captains / FO's from Mesaba Airlines. Captain pay is almost $100K and FO pay is around $65K and the income is tax free. Plus cityjet is giving each Mesaba pilot their own furnished apartment + a car. They have offered Mesaba pilots 1 year contracts and it sounds like their will be a good chance to extended the contract if cityjet is indeed short staffed. It sounds like a pretty good compensation package to me. Do the 1 year Mesaba contracts fall in line with how the other cityjet pilots are compensated?
