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.
Is this new math my kids talk about? 52/2=26x7=182-41=141? Not sure about your numbers, I am just talking about days away from home, I will work 14 hours all day, with Latitude averaging 30 hours a tour that is 26 weeks-6 weeks for vacation and days off associated with those days (14 extra days per 7 days of vacation under the contract) 30 hours per tour actually equals 600 hours a year on the Latitude, if you do 30 hours a tour, that's $2112.20 per tour in overtime x 20=about $42,000? on top of the new raise of 3%, that does not include the night or other overtime pay. Now of that $42K about $13.5K goes into your 401K. At least this is how this adds up to me! $79K + 29K=108K right?
