Maybe Embraer would give us a good deal on some E190E2s in exchange for some of the E175s. I hear UAL is hiring a bunch of PSA pilots…….

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
