Also, who needs vision or direction... we have culture. Just keep your head down and paddle bro. Sometimes you have to think of the bigger picture and work for the operation.

There is a performance bonus worth 100$ a month I believe that we’ve hit maybe three times this year.
Profit sharing could be 7% but I definitely wouldn’t count on it.

Figure 79 credit short call and “12” days off a month. They can and I’ve experienced them extending you beyond your reserve availability period multiple times per month so then it can become more like 10 actual days off. You don’t get compensated any additional for this. Your days off begin five hours after your reserve availability period ends per the contract. If you then want to try and pick up additionaly you have to find a trip that is legal for your short amount of time off which would seem challenging but not impossible.

It should have been true profit sharing. But, it's just one more thing we handed over to them without putting up a fight. But, I digress.
To get back on topic, reserve sucks. The nice thing is that current new-hires get off of reserve fairly quickly. At least you wouldn't have to do years of it like some of us, whose career timing wasn't good.

I think most reserve pilots are crediting at least 80 to 85hrs a month. With the pay scales we have now I think it’s a safe bet that you can make close to or over 100k year one, and at least 135k to 145k year two.

Not always. LAX went above the 50% line in my class. The next class it went in the first few picks.
SEA has been 60-80% of every newhire class. The rest have been split between mostly LAX and some ANC. No PDX in NH bid that I’ve seen.
1 year to get PDX, the rest is a mixed bag.
Going forward LAX will be Jr with both Boeing and AB assignments. JFK and SFO will make that list too. Lots of things changing in that area. Be prepared to commute for a few months. No definitive answers here.

Reserve lines pay 79 hours guarantee and you'll have a block of "5 days" off, so you could grab a two day trip worth 10 hours and have 89 hours for the month. In Seattle you will break guarantee on reserve. In LA you will fly around 45 hours/ mo on reserve.
