Anybody think we will keep doing one class a month for the foreseeable future? I know we have a few starting this month and next month. Would upgrades coincide this too?

What’s realistic first and 2nd year pay looking like lately? I know there used to be a lot of premium, and not sure what upgrade time is like

First year is $108.44 per hour. Minimum guarantee is 780 hours. $108.44 x 780 = $84,583.20

Second year will be $147.28. $147.28 x 780 = $114,878.4

Per diem is $71 per day. Reserves tend to be busy, so you can probably tack on $8500 to the base pay tax free with that. That puts you around $93,000 first year, $123,000 second year, probably more if your goal isn't to spend as little time as possible flying.

The junior pilot on the last captain proffer has been at ABX for about 18 months. Upgrade time is likely to remain in the vicinity of two years for a while.

Still tons of premium to go out, very understaffed.
