What does the annual compensation work out to be? Is the 40K min just the base training amount?

FO pay starts day 1 of training.

40k is the annual compensation.....better than a regional...worse than a major...equal? to a fractional/charter?...

I know a few guys that did it, and they all bailed within a year for greener pastures.

Thanks man, exploring all options at this point.

It is a small step up from what they offering back in 2010 when I looked at them briefly. It was $36,000 for San Diego, but it kept you flying for that currency/recency of experience that is so important for many jobs. I went a different path, but I always had a good time flying with these guys and other companies like them (Phoenix Air for one).

Also - I'm not sure exactly how L3 pays, but that $40,000 could be an absolute minimum per year for a certain number of hours (whether you make it or not), but you are paid by the flight hour, so anything flown over that minimum number of hours you are paid in addition; the more you fly, the more you make.

On a side note- it sounds like a similar step up may have led to a mishap over in Germany.

$40K on San Diego is poverty wages.

Hey guys I was in a rush. It's actually closer to 50 absolute minimum and that's for Norfolk. I hope u get a lot more for SOCAL! Trying not to give up too much personal on the internet, but pay it forward for when I'm looking for a job one day.

The 2 San Diego positions are around 50k.

$50,000 is not poverty level.
It might not be what professional pilots ought to be earning, especially with some of the background that L-3 would like to see, but it isn't poverty.
