I'm curious too; not that I'm within a decade of being competitive but I'm curious...I know a guy that made $22K a month flying for TAAG but I'm wondering if KAL would be near the same without having to be based in a place such as Angola. LAX is slightly more appealing. :)

Fuzzy numbers? Let me break this down for you. Following are the Delta pay rates. For example, look at the fourth year Delta FO 757/767 pay. It is $111 per hour. To be precise $111 x min gurantee of 70= $7770. After taxes and deductions, a reserve pilot on the 7ER category will take home around $5500.

And yes... I fly a widebody for Delta. Just flew PEK-SEA. 11 hrs of flight time on a 7ER. Last I checked, 7ER is a widebody. Maynot be super premium widebody. But it is a widebody.

It still looks fuzzy to you? You want me to mail you my W2 as well?

And no.. I'm not suggesting anything gay. I'll bring the wife too... and before you ask... no.

14 year ER FO at a junior base. Can't hold anything international. Can barely hold lines that are only commutable on the back end.

70 hour lines are about it. Nothing in open time, but it doesn't matter because the trips are so inefficient that the last thing you want to do is go back to work. 21-22 hour 4 days are the rule.

Monthly take home is right around $5500.

14 years doesn't buy you a captain seat anywhere, nor a line on a 747,777 or 330.

His math is right on for a 7ER FO. When he said he was a widebody FO ....nevermind. Next subject :rolleyes:

75/76 is a narrow / wide body category. You end up flying the narrow more than you do the wide so when he said he was a wide body FO I didn't think he was claiming to be a 7ERB. I have averaged over $7300 per month so far this year as a 7ERB and I am not even on 3rd year pay yet. When I hit 3rd year pay my guarantee alone will be almost $7700 and no, I don't go around claiming to be a "widebody FO" as a 7ERB since I mostly fly the 757. A true widebody pilot is on the 777/747/330/76ER.

You're an ER FO and you don't claim to be a widebody FO? Something doesn't add up here bud.
