I'm currently making over $4000 a month on second year FO pay. I fly mainly CR7/9's and make an average of $36.75/hr with the 5% block override. I block around 85 hours and credit about 97-100 hours of pay with about 300 TAFB/mth.
97 hrs x $36.75 = $3565
300 hrs x $1.6 = $480
$460 + $3565 = $4045/mth x 12 mths = $48,540.
Sure I'll take some vacation, call in sick, holidays, B-Days, etc; but I should end up well into the mid 40's. Not bad for 2nd year pay at the regionals, and yes I know we deserve more but we are just codeshares flying with thin margins.
This is not a pi$$ing contest about who "Root" is larger, just adding my numbers
