Yep. I easily averaged twice guarantee pre-covid. It’s nice fun money but if you build a budget around it you’re going to have a bad time.

Thank you for the help!
if you contribute anything to your 401k and take the health insurance expect to bring home roughly $1600 a month, maybe 2000 with per diem and a little bit of overage.

For planning purposes, how much per diem and overages can I expect on average per month?

Always budget your finances off only your guarantee. When you hit second year pay, live like your are on first year pay. Pay down your debt and have a minimum of 6 months of living expenses in the bank.

I lived through the 2008 crash. I was furloughed at the regionals. Currently living thru the pandemic on second year pay at a legacy.

No rumor , hard fact . There is no big announcement coming, no new flying or airframes to announce. Adding the 7/9 to the cert in hopes of a fallout with Mesa and AA or G7 and UA.
No new flying beyond the ua contract, which is up in a year or two .
In the interim the dueces are getting more tired , old and worn out every day . Definitely a dying breed .
This came straight from someone in the know .
Too much too late probably. Should have persued a 7/9 or a 175 program years ago like Mesa did instead of waiting until the 13 th hour .
