Cheers, and good luck! |
No salaries in the USA. Paid by the hour. You will not have a long wait to get MIA. You will likely not see the 777/787 in MIA for 4 years and that would be extreme, but retirements will be highest the next 4 years.
AB and 737 payrates the 1st 5 years are: 1. 90 2. 137 3. 161 4. 165 5. 169 The minimum monthly pay is 72 hrs for long call reserve. 76 hrs for short call reserve. A typical lineholder these days is 72-90 hrs. A reserve cannot be assigned flying that will take them beyond 85 hrs and are on call 18 days a month. You will likely be able to have a line within a year. These “hours” are not purely flight time. They include various rigs and pay protections. You can work overtime if your seniority allows. You also get international override pay and per diem. You also get 16% of your income equivalent added to a fully vested retirement account after year 1. conservatively, altogether I’d plan on 85k year one and 170k year 5. Zero retirement added year 1. 27k added to retirement year 5. You can add up to 19.5k every year to your retirement account yourself, tax deferred. More when you’re over 50 |
If you work the system and find lots of premium overtime, you can semi-realistically make up to 250k starting year 3.
|
Will just add that LAX and LGA are the most likely bases for new hires. On Day 1 you will choose in order of age.
Occasionally there will be other spots for new hires, but if MIA is your choice, be prepared to commute for at least a few months. |
How much time are you away if you are living in base vs commuting? Is it that big of a difference? Say you are working min you can and trying to maximize time at home.

Living in base and sitting reserve is great - gone for 8-9 days per month and getting min guarantee. Sitting reserve out of base is terrible, and you are away from your family about twice the number of nights. Even being a line holder out of base isn't great because a large number of trips are not commutable on both ends. A 3 day trip turns into 4 nights away from home, and sometimes 5. If you have two trips close together, it is often better to just sit in base for a day rather than commute back and forth with 1 day off. Commuting sucks right now, with most every flight being full and all of the commuters fighting for the jumpseats. |

If on reserve, I would say more than twice the time away, from my experience.

As a line holder in base about how many days off typically when junior? What is the trip mixes as far as the percent of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 day trips on the narrow body fleets?

Today is the first time I've noticed the green checkmark next to the PST (Pilot Skills Test) on the Profile Summary of the app. Anyone willing to share if they have a red X instead like the used to show on the personality test that used to be on the app?
Could just be a thanks for playing checkmark but just wondering if I could read into it a bit more, ha |
