I don’t mind working (especially if it’s just a year on first year pay / reserve) but I’m just trying to figure out how much pilots are realistically bringing home their 1st and 2nd years.
Was hired March 2018 as a flow, hate to talk about cash but last year after it was all said and done I took A 57k cut 1st year at AA. 2nd year will also be less, but not that bad. my year two pay didn’t show up on a check till June 15, major ouch... And this month, July, was First month I actually made the same as I did at PDT. Took 99 hours to do it. I. I bid rsv for aug for a break and hopefully play OG game. but I’m prepared to see basically a zero paycheck the 15th going from 99 to 76. It’s witchcraft how the pay works.
