PSA For Potential New Hires
$70,781 is what you can count on in base pay on the 7/7 schedule for the first year. This is about 30% less than most regionals and you're doing twice the amount of work.
$82,106 8/6 schedule
$86,353 cc72 schedule (18 days/month)
$92,015 cc76 schedule (19 days/month)
$120,000 is a number you will hear if you go to an expo. The difference between 120K and the previous four figures I posted are what we refer to as soft money. You have very little control over your soft money earning potential. Depending upon which schedule you elect, soft money can comprise 35% of your check.
If you're assigned the Latitude or 350, $120K is within reach. The Sovereign and XLS pilots probably can count on $90 - $100K.
The Phenom has it's own set of challenges. You can have an 8-9 leg day and never leave Florida or California and log 5 hours of flight time.
