For starting with a regional carrier, 19 dollars an hour seems to be the standard. What, 75-90 hours a month paid, you do the math.
The one good thing about pilot pay is raises are fairly big jumps (relative) year after year. It may be an extra 5 or 10 dollars an hour, but it's a difference between ramen and cambells.
For retirement... Well, depends on how far you get
.
Around 100-200k if you are getting up there in seniority.
Hope that didn't sound too bad.

There are very, very, very few pilots making over 100k. Sure if you happened to get on at one of the majors before 1996 you might be. I think USAir's furloughs went all the way back to 1991.
You are about to see a major change in the industry. The J4J program has proven that pilots will work for less than 6 figures.
I don't think many majors will be hiring in the next ten years without major adjustments to pay scales. Look for "C" or even "D" scales (under another more "politically correct" name of course!) to appear in the majors.
Now that management knows they can get pilots cheaper, they will,

Aren't there some regional airlines that have written rules stating you cannot go pick up your food stamps while in uniform? I remember hearing that once or twice.

I think I would have to wear SOMETHING (like a hat) with the company logo on it, just to get my point across....

By "Getting up there in seniority" I didn't even mean a ten year Captain, I'm talking if you are one of the lucky ones to be flying heavy metal after a 27 year career in flying and retiring in one.
"Now that management knows they can get pilots cheaper, they will"
I don't know how long it will last, atleast a few years. The economy will pick up, and eventually pilots who've been around awhile will start realizing they are getting screwed in pay..
You can't fly without pilots regardless of how much management tries.

Do you think union strikes will be inevitable when the airline industry recovers?
Wohoo my 100th post!

To get that seniority point would be tough now days. Because alot of people are having trouble finding jobs at regionals much less the majors, and even if you do get witha major i think youd be lucky to be a captain for 12 years, because youd be older when your hired and you have to retire at 60, assuming you stay in 1st medical condition.
