Just to give you a little perspective, I'll share with you what a paycheck looks like. My check on the 27th of every month consists of half of my monthly guarantee--37.5 hours. This check is always $645.00 net.

My check on the 13th of every month consists of the other half of guarantee plus what ever I flew above guarantee plus per diem minus health/dental benefits. I am single. This check averages $1400.00 net.

I figure that second year pay should average an additional $800.00/month net. Keep in mind that second year pay at Compass does not work like most airlines. It starts one year AFTER the first person from your class finishes IOE as opposed to most airlines where it starts one year after your date of hire. In my case, I will see my first second year check 16 months after my date of hire.

Good luck with your decision. PM me with any other questions.
