I've been told at WGA they can expect around 96k.
I think this metric cuts through the bullcrap and gets to to meat of the subject.
130k first year? I am very curious. Can you please explain how they get paid that much. First year is $107 hr with 64 hour guarantee (= $6,848). Then maybe an extra $700 for per diem (700+6848 = 7548 per month). That is only for 10 months. first two months is training pay (600 per week. $2400). So:
2 training months $2400 x 2 = $4800
10 flying months $ 7548 x 10 = $75480
First year estimated is $80,280.
My calculations are $50k off from yours. Obviously there is something I am missing. Can you please explain?
