Pay first year at XJT is going to be around 2 months training pay at 65 hrs x $40 per hour. Then 75 hrs minimum on the line x $40 per hour. Add in 3 EQOs at $2500 plus $22,000 bonus and first 12 months is about $64,700. 2nd year min 75 hrs at $40 per hour plus 4 EQOs at $2500 each comes out to $46,000. If you bump that up to 85 hrs per month flying it would be $68,700 first year and $52,800 second year.
