Take home varies by state/local taxes, withholding, benefits selections, per diem, 401k contribution and other variables.
Average guy does 25-45 hours of flight time per month, and gets guarantee of 64 hours, plus any OT and soft money pay
Average guy is physically gone from home 15 days a month. Useable up to 18, but typically only gone 15.
Overtime takes away from days off depending on length of trip and how many days you volunteer to work extra.
It's a great place to be.
Couldn’t agree more. It is a fantastic place to be.
All the above is accurate. In some cases though you are actually home more. I’m averaging about 12 days at work a month over the last three years. However some seem to get used the 16-18 days every month.
Comes down to the whims of the scheduling gods I guess. 😉
