With our current contract TA (expected to pass) as a 5th/6th year widebody FO I am realistically looking at around $240k this year. ( pay+profit sharing+retro for the TA, per doem NOT included)

Next year as a 6/7th year FO with just profit sharing and pay I expect about $210k, per diem NOT included.

One caveat, I can hold Cpt this year on a narrowbody, so I may expect $230ish next year if I decide to do it.


Like I said, I do not have 2000 pay numbers as I was still at a regional. But looking at general numbers from NJA, my 5-7th year numbers aregenerLly doable that of a 10 yr FO and probably very similar to senior Captains at NJA ( although I understand widebody probably pays more at NJA)

My last yr W2 was probably around the $140k range, mybe $145k. That was 4th year, no per diem, and pre contract vote.

And I am not at Delta or United. Fly my line with 15-16 days off a month. No overtime, but do fly high value lines.

Not knocking NJA but tired of your kool aid flavor. A guy unfamiliar with the industry should be informed what they are getting with NJA ( good and bad) and not your " wait for the growth and good things to come" rhetoric from you.
