Default Expirienced Based Pay

What determines expirience?
Years flying?

How about a list that gets you paid based on hours
250 hrs for commericial license
250 - 3000 Min pay $25/hour then $.03/ hour flown which ever is greater
(3000 hrs*.03= $90/hour)

3000-5000 Min pay $90/hr then $.025/hr flown which ever is greater
(5000 hrs *.025= $125/hr)

5000-10000 Min pay $125/hr then $.02/hr flown which ever is greater
(10000 hrs*.02= $200/hr)

10000-20000 Min pay $200/hr then $.013/hr flown which ever is greater
(20000 hrs *.013=$260/hr)

You top out at $260.

Need to have 2000 hrs to be a captain and get a 10% bump

Instead of pay raises based on years we get cost of living bumps.

Certain sized planes require certain levels of expirience (ex: 7000 hrs to FO a B-777 and so on)

This levels the playing field amongst the airlines. If you are a passenger you might pay to fly the airline with the expirience

These numbers are arbitrary but an example, pick your own numbers.

The guy who gave me my ATP checkride had over 66,000 hours logged and a picture of himself dropping a bomb on the battleship Yamato.
Yes that is expirience.
If you are a military guy you bring your time. Military guys get a little early compensation based on limited training costs (out of pocket), years of better pay on the way up. Yes heavy guys get more time than fighters guys. It might create more flow between airframes.
You sacrafice a little to live the dream of flying a fighter.

Lets see I would make 5232 * .02 = 104.64/hr

I have 17 years flying and make $60 per hour. That would be a $45/hr raise!!!. Yes I would like to get paid for expirience

Just a thought Boogie
