Technically, the company is matching at 56% for this year.
Also, keep in mind that 33% of your FDP pay will be deposited as a non discretionary company contribution to your 401k, so you’ll only see 67% in your actual paycheck. Good for those that aren’t good at saving....
Also, to add to what’s been said, the 8 day option is more a of chance to get more FDP money out of a tour, versus collecting the measly 3% override. That’s why is has suddenly become so popular. Last 8 day I did netted me $2900 in FDP pay.
As far as making 170k on first year pay, I call BS! No way is that going to happen. High end of the range would be just shy of 130k. That includes base pay, 12 extended days per year, 10% soft pay, and 30k in FDP earnings. You’d have to permanently live out of your suitcase to make more....
