From what I’ve read since, I see no mention of the second year pay and the first year hourly pay I see on this website is about $38 an hour. Anyone have an idea of what’s correct for the first year hourly pay and what to expect in total compensation for second year as an FO?
Thanks!
It’s currently $38.88 year 1 and $40.22 year 2. You get a nice $16,520 bonus for walking in the door plus an additional $5000 for having a CL-65 type rating. The retention bonus structure is all based on the first full quarter worked. For example if you hire on in January of 18 you will not get a bonus until the beginning of Q3 in 2019. The idea is you didn’t work the full first quarter of the previous year. That would mean if you weren’t fOrced to upgrade you would get bonuses Q4 2019, Q1 2020 and Q2 2020 to get you to the $10,000 retention bonus.
