Hi!

The previously listed pay scale is correct:
“Rated:
Months 1-2 $4500 USD
Months 3-4 $5400
Months 5+ $5500
Non Rated:
$3500
$5000
$5100”
Perdiem is $3.00 per “Duty Hour”....not sure how that works. Overtime over 70 hrs/month. Housing during training and in Taipei. Completion bonuses after xx months.
I think the $7.0/month was before taxes, and the above are all after Taiwanese taxes.

I AM interested, as the overall T&C are significantly better than my current job, although the pay is a bit lower. I am from the US, which has the largest number of excess pilots, hence the lowest salaries at home and the most guys flying overseas. The T&C “fairness” issue DEFINITELY depends on where you are coming from.
US Major Airlines:
US Airways (East): Months 1-12 $1800/month
Continental: Months 1-12 $2200/month
United: Months 1-12 $2300/month
American: Months 1-12 $2500/month
Delta: Months 1-12 $3800/month
Atlas Airlines, the world's largest? 747 operator:
Base pay during initial training....$0/month....perdiem only
(I consider Atlas the 4th best US airline job: DAL, FedEx, UPS, Atlas)

Oh, in case you're wondering about the “Regional” Airlines...
Mesa is a very large Regional Airline flying feed for the majors...
(turboprops to CRJ-900s, 92 aircraft)
Months 1-12 $1500/month
Months 13-24 $2000/month
DHC8 Captain, 2nd Year Pay $3000/mo.

Props?...
Great Lakes Airlines (Beech and Embraer Turboprops, 42 aircraft, flying feed for the majors)
Months 1-12 $1300/month.
