Gross pay including 401k DC and bonuses is probably about rate x 1250, before taxes and voluntary deductions. Take home depends on taxes and vol deductions. First year maybe a bit less due to reserve and bonus eligibility.

Maybe a couple FO’s could give the guy useful numbers not the ego numbers. Take-home is what most people want when they ask the question. What you can count on and what you can spend. Most commuters also fly nearer guarantee in order to have a life.

Just to clarify for #4, there is no airport reserve. Long call is 14 hrs and short call is 2.5 hrs. You do not need to be at the airport for that. Nor is there any reserve assignment that makes you sit at the airport for airport reserve.

How does anybody here know what his tax rate and voluntary deductions will be? Depends on where you live, family finances, etc.

1st-63k-85k
2nd-94k-126k
3rd-109k-146k
4th-114k-152k

Those are all based on min hours per month of 75 to max pay of 100 hours per month. They do not include per diem, bonuses, or any other work rule kickers (reassignment pay, premium trip pick up, working over vacation, etc...).

Thanks Gents!
Great detail, gives me something to crunch on....

What do you mean “max” pay of 100 hrs per month? Lotta pilots can credit well above that number month to month.

Just used it as an average since the suggestion was "Not Inflated Numbers." But sure pilots can do more. One ca credits 150-160 every month, but that wasn't the request. Since I made a gross error/term you didn't agree with......

12 year fo beginning Sept 2023 at 220/hr crediting 150 hours every month for the year will gross $396,000 (without per diem, bonuses, etc...) Now apply your own deductions.

How does that help a guy asking what the average Take-home fo pay would be as a new hire and the first couple of years????

Those numbers are very close to what I have earned at AS. I didn't pick up premium from the contract amendable date in 2019 until the new contract was voted in last year.

Let’s fix that: Some guys in the SEA base can and the top couple percent in the little bases can. I think it is published by ALPA exactly how much premium was flown by seat by base. Tiny percentage of the whole. Helps all of us if we don’t try to claim the 1% as the statistical average. I will grant you that SEA as the only “real” base in the company does produce nearly all of the 1% crowd.
