I have a friend who is a captain (can't remember which airline right
now) and is making somewhere around $40,000, which isn't too bad. The
other guys I know who are flying right seat in turboprops are making
$17,000-$22,000. I don't know if that's next to nothing, but I know
I'd have to give up a lot on that kind of money.



40 hours/week x 50 weeks (the extra 2 weeks are ...extra)

= 2,000 hrs/yr at $1.00/hr ....$2k
= 2,000 hrs/yr at $0.50/hr ....$1k

So, every 50 cents is 1,000 bucks of yearly salary.

(roughly)
$17k ...= $8.50/hr
$20k ...= $10/hr
$22k ...= $11/hr
$40k ...= $20/hr at 40 hrs/week

Or the other way around (approx)
$25/hr ...= $50k
$17/hr ...= $34k
$6/hr ..... = $12k
$5/hr ..... = $10k per year

The extra 2 weeks out of the year are gravy :-)

When you put it that way, it's even worse!
