In a perfect world CA & FO #'s should be fairly close.
# of Eligible (Online and able to bid) Pilots.
August Schedule: 523 CA / 413 FO.
September Schedule: 512 CA / 395 FO.

I'll let someone else point out the obvious conclusions from this.
Thanks for the info, I'm not familiar with 121 but considering making the jump from my 135 op in near future.
Whats a realistic number to figure for per diem? Is this paid monthly?
Also is the salary paid bi-weekly? Running the numbers looks like a new hire without bonus and perdiem would be bringing like $1000 home every two weeks after taxes... does that sound right or are averages higher?
Just doing my due diligence.
Thanks
