Default Planning the first few years

Gents,

I have posted on here recently inquiring about information as a new hire for JetBlue and I genuinely appreciate everyone’s help. There have been other forum discussions regarding individuals pay, compensation packages, W2’s, etc. and I do agree with those that find that discussion tacky and a bit much, so before I get torn apart, that is not what this post is about.

As someone who is considering a career change or entering the 121 world for the first time or even to help others considering JetBlue, I believe it is important to get a consensus on compensation expectation for the first few years; especially for those with families. With the information that I have gathered so far, below what I have calculated out. For anyone new on property (4-5 years or less), can you please verify the accuracy.

Training = 6-8 weeks approx. $1200/month
Training pay upon completion of training = 80hrs/month at $88/hr

Year 1 Gross = $85,000 - $102,000 gross depending on length of reserve. Can one count on $5000-$5500 NET per month?

Year 2 Gross = E190 between $115,000 - $140,000 (Average 95 -120 credit/month)
A320 between $125,000 - $160,000 (dependent on reserve times)

Year 3 Gross = A320 between $165,000 - $190,000 (Average 85-110 credit/month)

401(k) – 15% until 2021, then 16% - direct contribution.

Profit sharing – minimal

Current Reserve Times, obviously changes monthly, but a good average would be appreciated.

BOS 190 = ?
BOS 320 = ?
JFK 190 = ?
JFK 320 = ?
MCO 190 = ?
MCO 320 = ?
FLL 190 = ?
FLL 320 = ?

Again, I am NOT looking for anyone to share their personal information or post their earnings, but a verification or correction of the accuracy of the information above and anything else that would be important for a new hire to know would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
