My friend is a DL SLI.

if you are hired as an FO SLI, you get highest FO pay you can hold at current year. 350 has gone to new hires recently so….
so a 3 year FO on the 737 would get 3 year FO pay at A350 rate. He gets that wether he flys or instructs. It’s 85 hours for 17 sims. On line months you bid in pbs like normal.
we have had some retention issues too, cause with only a few years guys can go fly as line capts and kill it.

the new contract is 90 hours for 17 sims. And a 500$ override for PCP, and $1000 override for APD.
Also, if you are hired as an FO, but want to fly as a Capt on your 3-4 fly months, you can do it and make Capt pay on fly months (so 737 capt pay in example above).

that other but about 10% override is only for our top pay band SLIs. I get it. How else are they gonna financially try to lure a 350 dude when he already makes 350 pay
