I'm sure it can't be much different from swoop and flair!

Not the best quality photo but this seems to be accurate from what I've heard.

Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
Just 40 more days of work per year for that truck driving position.
I have a feeling that pilots are just bad at math all around.
The real answer though.
$500.

Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
So go drive a truck then! Yes wages can be better. But at least for myself, wages are only a portion of why I choose a career in aviation, and not the end all be all.
Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
Exactly. That job pays well because driving a 10 axle tanker is difficult, dangerous, requires experience and is long hours. It should pay more than most aviation jobs.TC.Enforcement wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 1:13 pmSo go drive a truck then! Yes wages can be better.

Not saying that alot of pilots aren't underpaid, but there is alot more to a career than salary.
Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
And flying a twotter or dash 7 or 737 or whatever in the arctic full of fuel in the middle of winter in a ripping xwind and blowing snow down to minimums at night isn't all of those things?? Yes, there are flying jobs that you could call "easy", but there's a lot that should pay way more than a trucker's salary I think. And the common denominator of being underpaid doesn't seem to discriminate based on how difficult the job is, for the most part. But I certainly agree with you that there is a lot more to a career than salary. But also, a guy needs to be able to afford to live.Flight94 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 2:08 pmExactly.

Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
That's why I said "most" aviation jobs. This particular trucking job is more or less the equivalent of that snowstorm xwind arctic gig. Driving a dry van around the lower 48 is similar to flying autopilot ILS to ILS, and the pay reflects that.scdriver wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 3:55 pmAnd flying a twotter or dash 7 or 737 or whatever in the arctic full of fuel in the middle of winter in a ripping xwind and blowing snow down to minimums at night isn't all of those things??

Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
If your considering a career change to become a trucker instead of a pilot, you should honestly just go for it.
This career is no fun unless you are passionate about aviation.

I enjoy things like eating and having a social life, and that's hard on a $50k income with $100k for flight school debtTC.Enforcement wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 1:13 pmSo go drive a truck then!

Re: Lynx Air Pilot Pay
A lot of similarities between a trucker and a pilot, both get to pee into a bottle. Truckers at least can pull over!
