A year 15 pilot on the CC60 is at $180373 this year. At the end of the year they will get another $7215 for the weird max longevity bonus that we have instead of just having a year 15 on the pay scale. Base pay has only gone up with the COLA raises since the 2015 contract, but the soft pay has gone up considerably. Even much lowered demand will still pay out on holidays and OT and FDP will still come into play. I talked to several pilots on the 350 who still flew over 300 hours in 2020 with the worst demand ever. That said, I barely broke 100 hours in the Global that year and saw no FDP after February. Like the last poster said, the company is hiring to demand and growth. If demand goes down, we are still behind on hiring and just a freeze in hiring would still leave those on line very busy for quite some time. This isn't an airline. You will work harder for the money, but the money is there if you want to avoid a bad commute.
