Metro North is currently looking for Conductors. Their pay rate starts at $30.51/hr and tops out at $43.60/hr after 8 years of service.

A friend just moved to Metro North as an engineer and loves it there.

The scary thing, that is roughly the same pay rate a number of regional carriers pay starting First Officers (co-pilots) on 50+ seat jets. Not to say being a conductor doesn't carry a large amount of responsibility, but the qualifications are certainly not the same, nore is the larger responsibility that is placed on a pilot. However, the pay scale certainly works more in favor for the airlines, after a few years, provided a pilot follows a certain path.
 
the pay scale listed for Cdr is maximum hourly rate, the first officer pay you are referring to is starting rate.

The cdr starts at 70% of hourly rate , and has to go thru 7 years of progression to get to hourly rate.
