Or keep in mind that if you were to go somewhere like United, and work in the office, looking forward to hopefully flying the line there, you'd have to "SAVE MUCH MORE" to withstand living on first year pilot wages.
Let's do a little simple math.
First year at WN- $54/hr x 70hrs/month = $3780/month (Gross)
- $3780/month x 12months = $45,360/year.
- $45,360 - $8,000 type rating = $37,360 first
year pay. (Numbers do not include per diem.)
First year at UA- $33/hr x 70 hrs/month = $2310/month (Gross)
- $2310/month x 12 months = $27,720/year.
- $27,720/year - $0 type rating = $27,720 first
year pay. (Numbers do not include per diem.)
Which would your rather "Save" for Contrail?
