Ok i'm no award expert here so please let me know where i'm going wrong but reference for this is the March 2007 pilots award off the AFAP website. Now Metro is around 6500kgs or so -
Base Rate Captain - $41,316
Exercising privleges of a ATPL(req over 5700kgs) $3658
Turboprop allowance $4827
Command Instrument Rating $4435
TOTAL $54,236
Despite all the current issues at rex, looking at their award conditions on the recently retired Metros, on 2005 figures a 1 year Metro Captain was on $58k up to $66k for a 10 year command.
