13 more SICs got the upgrade today to the Phenom and Latitude. Any of those new Captains choosing 7n7 should be able to pull $250k without too much issue. CC72 $275k, CC76 $300k.
NJA salaries are, in fact, commensurate with many major airline opportunities. There currently are no scenarios where NJA pilots are telling FedEx or UPS (or DAL) stories but then again... no Alaska pilots are either.
Much progress has been made to the CBA over the years, especially recently. There will be more positive happenings in 2020 as well ....
Give it up already. I did 91K for 8 years and I really enjoyed the flying. Financially there is no comparison.
A 10 year SWA FO can easily hold a schedule working 12 days a month (and if you want to go there, 6 days for 4 months a year with vacation).
That is working one day a month less than your 52 schedule, on which a 10 year NJ FO’s base pay is $105K including the 401K match.
The SWA FO will get $220K in base pay including DC and PS.
Both have healthcare for free.
Yes, there is premium pay possible at NJ, and if I add 1 day per month of premium to the SWA FO, to get him on the 52 days per 4 months that’s another $24K minimum.
And that is the worst case scenario, everyone else at the big 6 makes more money.
Can’t believe I am even replying to you. Everyone has said this already, and you just keep going on......
