There is a grand total of 2 shifts I could pick up right now, if I wanted to travel halfway across the country (and if I could make it there), for a whopping 260 dollars. Almost every PIC here is making 35k a year, period. And as has been discussed above new hires can expect a hair over 29K to be PIC.
No BS here, just the cold hard truth.
Bahahaha! Well, I guess if you say "Almost every PIC here is making 35k a year," and seal it with a "period" then it HAS to be true. Guys in my base are doing upwards of 70-75 hours this month. In fact, they are trying to drop shifts. Even on the SIC side.
Smh..... I have, as a PIC, picked up SIC shifts in my base literally within the past two months. Hell, an out of base PIC picked up one here the night before last!
