22 x 12.1= 266.2

Now this guy claimed flight time of 270-320 hours a year right? Let’s split it an call it the average of 300.

300-266.2=33.8 eligible for extra pay
33.8 x 118= 3988.40 extra pay
3988 + 62563 (year 1 7/7)= 66551 total

So according to my math that pilot who magically gets hired, bids and is given the 7/7 year one with 2 weeks vacation and NOT using PTO at all would be at 66551 not 95-100K. This of course is average and is based on assumptions but I find it hard to believe any union member would advocate the belief that one could add 50 percent to total pay on year 1.

The TA will pass. It will not amount to much after a year in pilot pay as NJA learns and adapts to the different work rules.
