This just shows that comparisons are very nearly impossible. 3rd year regional Jet Captain. £3,200. Average month. No nightstops this time. No long trips and no night flights, low housing cost regional base,usually get left alone on standby. Pay increases agreed for two years and while not dramatic is way ahead of when I joined. Good prospects for promotion or bigger machinery. Got command way ahead of my expectations. Well financed company, not much chance of going under. Downside is limited routes and repetitive roster.
