First year if you don't break guarantee your base at SkyWest is $20,273 (75 hrs/mnth plus 5 holiday pay days at 4:18 per = 921.5 hours x $22) plus perdiem. IMO with perdiem you should make around $24,000 gross but if you pick up some flying on your days off you can easily make up near $30K. Second year pay come 2013 is $39.38 so once again if you don’t break guarantee you’re base is $36,288.67, with perdiem IMO you’ll gross up around $40K. I know several who work the system and made well over $50K while on reserve and I know of a 4th year FO who topped $70K last year (with no life of course).
