That would add $2200 according to Pelosi this would be bread crumbs for those striving for $100k.

You can only bank credit. Green slips, where newbies in NYC can increase pay significantly, don't provide credit. But sure, if you fly 93, bank 13!

Can you explain a bit more what you are talking about? How are you able to bank the hours for later pay. Anything above the 80hrs reserve guarantee goes into a bank and then you can pull those banked hours in year 2 at the higher pay scale? One simply sacrifices the 1st year money for a larger amount in year two? How many hours can you bank?
As a line holder or reserve guy any credit above 85 can be elected to be deposited into the bank. Once the bank reaches 60 hours you can’t deposit anymore.

It’s any credit above 80 can be backed up to 60 hours in the bank. You can withdraw from bank any time(up to a lint). You can also use the bank to buy vacation days.

The thing to remember is it’s all hours based going in so as you get raises, those hours sitting there become worth more $.

Only if you are under ALV. Hardly “any time.”

Vacation months generally provide opportunity to cash out large chunks. Can also use to buy up to 10 days additional vaca time.

Thanks!
As a 2015 newhire, including profit sharing and per diem, I made $86K in my first year. That was at $70.51/hr. At today's Year 1 pay, that would equate to almost $112K.

For another data point, I was hired 2017. My numbers are based on my first 12 calendar months which were 3 months of training salary, then 4 months of sitting NB reserve, then 5 months as REG line holder. Only had one 1 day GS as line holder and was not picking up open time trips to max out my scheudle...I flew was I was awarded.

Total Gross: $88,000 (Fly pay, per diem, international overide, shared rewards, etc)
Profit Sharing Feb 2018: $2,300

Little over $90,000 running total

When you throw in company 401K contributions over those 12 months
401k: $19,000

Total first 12 months compensation now is $109,500

Are you saying that you can only withdraw from your bank if you are under ALV? If so, that is incorrect. You can withdraw up to 82hrs or ALV+5, whichever is less.
