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?
we'll NL3 is taking about what guys are actually making today
there are some hungry FO's out there
first off your perdiem is off - closer to 1300 per month
if the guy works a bunch of OT more like 1600+
and no one gets just 64 hrs - just flying regular 16 days average Joe can expect 85-100 hrs - if your really hungry for pay, I've seen guys do 170 pay hrs in a month
I'll give you a for instance - they had a trip going today CVG-ANC-ORD. Double crew flying time 13.5 - pay for the trip would be 28.2
and you would be gone from home less than 48 hrs
that's how it done
