I went to a Republic mixer in IAH last week and had a great time. I know that your “flight time” per the regs is limited to 1000 hours a year, which equates to a little over 83 flight hours a month.
Can someone please explain to me how I can make the most money at Republic? How are you bidding the system? I’m used to 6-8 days off a month flying part 135 so I’m willing to hustle. I want to know what you guys are grossing annually based off the new TA and your projections?
If this conversation is easier explained over a phone call please PM me and I can chat with you at your convenience.
Thank you all for your expertise.
Work rules are where you make the extra money. A day with 1 leg still pays 4.2. You also have the trip and duty rigs. I’ve had some senior fos make 70 ish on the old payscales so I would say 80 is possible on year 2-3. It really depends on how much flying and open time is in iah.
