You would have to credit 108 hours a month to hit 75k your first year after two months on training pay. I've heard the rates are going up but no idea how much.
Again, its hearsay, but what I've heard about the new contract is the pilots still owe 17 days and can still be involuntarily extended. What changes is there will be a trip rig and each day will cost the company 4+ hours pay so it will become financially painful for the company to leave pilots scattered around the world.
Just heard the Arbitrator's hearing has been postponed till March which will delay the new contract another month.
