forgot to answer your last question because it wasn’t numbered.
Any experienced pilot should know there is no way to answer that question. You never know if it was a good ride or not until it is over.
also for 9. Your take home pay ballpark is typically your hourly rate times 1000.

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.

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...).

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

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????

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......

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.
