Thanks for the responses guys. What about EDV medical plans? Assuming family coverage, wife and 2 kids. I heard AWAC has a great plan, but the pay kind of negates that over there.

$411 or $909 a month for a family depending on the plan you choose (HSA or PPO). Worst case scenario (were talking catostphic illness) with the HSA you pay a $6000 out of pocket maximum and $5000 in premiums for the year, less $1350 in company contributions. That about equals the premium for our PPO plan which is very expensive.

Yes, our insurance leaves much to be desired. Awac has the best insurance in the industry. It's great, but you have to weigh the cost of lesser pay and slower upgrade. They're kinda the gold standard for regional insurance, but that's really about it. Even with that and the bonuses, I could not in all honesty recommend them to friends and family. I think you'll see 2018 is going to be a really big year for Endeavor.

I agree with this. As a very junior captain I have to sacrifice days off to make over guarantee and because I have a young family it's a balancing act. You need to budget for 75 hours because it's so hit or miss whether they actually fly you when you are sitting reserve. I am sitting evening reserve for all of March and so if I fly once maybe twice that will be a miracle.

First year pay requires a dead chicken and nine-sided dice to figure out as there are way too many variables. For instance, I am a new-hire FO and will be making Captain without ever doing FO OE (initial Operating Experince). Due to broken sims and missed flights to training events, it will be nearly six months since my hire date before Captain pay kicks in. Take away the training delays and it could possibly have been 4.5 ish months.

And by all means, budget for only guarantee of 75 hours.

Is that something new? I was told that you had to complete the OE as an FO before they would send you back to upgrade.
