Good question. It does take a little insight so see if this helps.
XO is the first company I have worked for or know of that first year pay is based upon hours of experience.
From the APC page here is the explanation.
XOJET Aviation First Officer Pay Scale
Base Pay Total Time
MEL/PIC/Turbine/Instrument
Tier 1 $75,000 3,500 1,500/1,500/1,500/150
Tier 2 $65,000 3,000 1,000/1,000/1,000/150
Tier 3 $60,000 2,500 500/500/500/150
Tier 4 $55,000 <2,500 500/500/100/150
ADDITIONAL EARNING OPPORTNITIES- Extra Day Override - $1,200/day per PIC, $900/day per SIC
- Annual variable increase from 4%-10% of salary, based on performance and seniority
- 401K Maximum Match of $5K bested after 5 yrs. Your choice about where u want to invest
- Flexible Schedule Override - $16K/yr. for PIC; $12K/year for SIC
We did have a 20% reduction in total bonus this year. As a first year FO that amount to just under $2k.
Honestly I was surprised we got any bonus so very happy to have it.
This replaces the previous fuel savings program that favored X pilots over 300 pilots. Some were happy with the change, others not so.
Here is the full description on APC that I cut and pasted from.
