Not sure if this will help or not, but I am in my second year at FDX and can provide my 2018 numbers up through the end of March (1/4 of the year). I am a commuter and as open time has been scarce I have not flown extra, nor have I dropped any trips. I have been on WB pay ($172ish/hr) all year and haven't sat reserve yet at all this year.
So through March 2018
My Earnings to date have been $45,620.
Average BLG/Mo: 79.3 (Our min guarantee is just a shade under 74 hr/month)
Average CR/Mo: 81.9
Avg Block Hrs Flown/Mo: 37.8
TAFB per 30 day month (realize we don't have 30 day months, but I made the calculations to show what it would be): 12 days at work, 18 days off
(NOTE: I would say as a commuter, my actual days away from home are probably an additional 1 or 2 due to my commute. The 12 days above is just using my TAFB from my monthly summaries.)
So, if you do the math, though my pay rate is $172, I have earned $181 per CH, 374 per block hour, and $1260 for each day away from base.
With all that being said, there is much more than the dollars that matter. This is just one small piece of the equation.
Hope that helps.
