Nice is what you like.
However anyone that thinks Jet FOs are going to move over to a turboprop for a command are either smoking weed or asleep and actually dreaming whilst typing on pprune.
Command is great but it ain't the be all and end all people. I'd sooner stay an EFFO for the rest of my life than fly a turbo prop again. Thats my like I'm sure plenty of people love them and good for them.
As for the Ejet argument? My EFFO mates love it (money only complaint) and the captains say they wont be going back to the boeing. They all say they fly gentleman's hours in comparison to the 73. They fly 50 to 70 hours a month and the salaries are:
FO
Level 1 $83747
Level 2 $91360 (500 hours on a company type or a/c above 50,000kg)
Level 3 $98974 ( 2000 of the above)
CAPT
$152267
All figures as of July 2011.
The big difference I've noted in their morale is that
VB have changed the rules and the FO's are free to move around to whatever type. Hence a number of Ejet guys are now speaking French and eating croissants for breakfast.
Back to the top.
