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????


I’m not doubting it. Just that it was written as “max pay of 100 per month.” Only clarifying there’s really technically no max. There is a contractual max during line awarding, step trading, but after that one can exceed those max limits too.

Did you not understand the progression of the comments? I also wrote using a min pay of 75 hours, but people fly less than that as well. Didnt want to correct that statement? No one asked what's the max pay you can attain in a given month?

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.

And it’s a shame some folks can’t hold out for 2x over 1.5x. Albeit the real money is getting delayed into a day off or by training displacements. Wish I could count on those like some do 🧐

He can manage to shoehorn in a humble brag about how well he works the system into pretty much any conversation.

Haha, that made reading through the whole thread worthwhile

If you’re not working the system to your own advantage, you’re not doing it right. Or at least, doing it inefficiently.

Any advice for a new hire FO?
