I知 at PSA and I知 very thankful for our pay raises but we still do not compete with Republic in overall pay since our soft pay and premium pay is lacking. I知 on the 5 year captain pay scale and I知 guessing I will make around 90k/year with the new rates. I plan on averaging around 80 hours and 15-17 days off a month. I was actually already making about 90k with the old rates because we had better premium pay than the new tier system we just switched to. I知 guessing the republic guys should easily be able to clear 100k-110k with similar days off. Please correct me if I知 wrong. Im curious what the republic captains are making with 12-13 days off.... 130k plus or more?
Also the PSA FOs aren稚 really getting a raise. They basically converted the retention bonus to pay rates based on flying roughly 75 hours a month. I壇 take pay rates over bonuses all day long, but like I said, FOs are still making basically the same salary as they were before. If you fly more than 75 hours it comes out to a raise. Less than 75 hours is a pay cut. So neutral gain for FOs in my opinion, but definitely a plus that it痴 in the form of pay rates instead of a bonus now.
Not trying to be negative. Just trying to put out some factual stats. PSA has an unrestricted SAP which is huge. I知 thankful for our raises but our soft pay rules suck. Until those improve (hopefully with PBS) you will earn a good chunk more at Republic.
