Since some people PMed me about incentive pay/contract details at Silver, here you go (this has nothing to do with Wingtip's post by the way):
-Green Incentive: Block or Better- Paid at $1.75 for every minute early per trip compared to a 3(?) month average. In Florida, you can average $400-800 extra PER MONTH. Not sure about the northern bases. No penalty for over blocking. Since its block time, even if you're delayed 4 hours, you still make money if you under block. *Note- Billings doesn't have this program
-Per Diem: $1.65 per hour for duty days > 9 hours, or overnights
-Pay protected lines. Block 60 hours, get paid 75. Fly 100 hours, get paid 100
-Open Time: Paid at 150%
-Lost Day Off (working on your day off): Paid at 150%.
- 2:1 duty rig. Get paid your block, or half your duty, whichever's greater
-Cancellation pay: pay protected for that trip
-Rx Pay: Pairing is cancelled, still paid, and considered to be "on call" for those hours (typically happens when an IOE pilot flies your line).
-Training: paid at your hourly rate X your monthly guarantee of 80 hours. You also make per diem for every hour you are away from home during training.
-Vacation: 1st year = 9 days. 2nd-6th year = 16 days per year. Theres figures for 7+ years but I hope no one plans on being here that long...
-Reserve: 75 hour guarantee/11 days off. Block 70.5 hours and you either have the rest of the month off, or are paid 150%

Anyone else feel free to chime in if im missing something...
