Our FOs also don't make $80k unless they bypass upgrade.
A 3rd year fo makes $67k on guarantee
A 2nd year fo makes $62k
You need to be a 6 yr fo to break $80k
A United 6 yr Airbus fo is making $132k and getting over $21k just from the company into his 401k as well as an unknown profit sharing check.
A United 3rd yr fo makes $123k and $19k into his 401k
So a 3rd year United fo gets a larger dollar amount put into his 401k than ANY spirit pilot under the age of 50 no matter how much they made.
Or Detroit.... Or Chicago if you live in Wisconsin.
