So with a 12 month bid schedule. After taxes, insurance, alpa, blue pilot fund and any deductions I may be missing, are we all in agreement that a new hire can expect to NET roughly $6000 a month, $72000 annual net? Thank you, again.
Yr 1 190 FO. Checked to line early summer.
I declare a 5 on my federal deductions put in $100 into my HSA per pay period and my health insurance is $224 per pay period. I live in NH so I don’t pay MA income tax.
If I don’t fly extra or fly at all my take home pay is around $5200/month.
Check on the 20th is $2300.
The check on the 8th is the remainder and any extras.
I have consistently made more than $5200. But my budget is banked on this.
VDAs are almost non existent for the first few months. I put VDA on my schedule on all of my days off and I’ve been called a grand total of 4 times. None of which worked out. Picked up an RSA and a VDA this month and was able to credit 109 hours. Seems things are starting to move for me now as far as overtime is concerned.
I think the trick is bidding for a large block of days off each month, and this will give you options as far legality and picking up to make more money.
