I know there are more ways to make extra at larger airlines than at the Regionals. So, how much can I expect to make in the 2 to 4 year range?
It is easy to make more than $87k. B6 has quite a few deadheads worth 100%. Also, when they are short staffed, especially during an IROP, it is really eat to make extra cash. If you live in base, they'll call you last minute for bailouts sometimes and you'll make a ton of dough. Profit sharing this year is an additional 2 months.
