LOL. $4K is more than what a captain brings home on reserve. Hold a line, fly OT and maybe break $5k with per diem. Family on the company health insurance? Don’t even dream of it.

Try selling on eBay. We do about 1k a month gross, maybe 5-6 hundred net, flipping things we pick up at Goodwills, garage sales, etc. Mind you, that is with very little work. If we really upped our game the returns are infinite. See Craigslist Hunter on YouTube when you have 5 minutes to burn.

There is very little startup costs and it can easily be managed with our schedules. I always choose 3 day handling times so it doesn’t screw over shipping timelines with my trips.

Good luck!

Edit> Being a cheap pilot has made sourcing supplies so easy.

Boxes-Walmart on stocking day
Paper and bubble wrap- amazon orders and behind most major stores
Inventory- Craigslist, Facebook, Goodwill, Salvation Army, garage sales

So you'll take my bet?

I never said it's the norm. I said it's possible. It was Varsity who said it was Bull and no FO takes home that.

Bet me bro. RW said we're getting pay raises next week bet me on it bro. LAX is opening soon, we already hired a chief pilot bet me on it bro. We're gonna flow in 5.5 years bet me bro.

Lol you did act like it's the norm

"I'm a new FO and I take home 4000+ a month. Sorry, we all know you are a troll account, but if you can't live off 4k, you're doing something wrong."

To anyone reading that you make it sound like it is the norm and anyone can do it. But really it's you being inconsiderate putting down FOs for doing side jobs to make ends meet because they don't live in base and can't pick up 20 hours of critical OT.

Its like dealing with a toddler, they don't realize what they do and say but all the adults around them do.

You know Dera, its possible to make more than that as an FO if you get lucky, work your ass off, live in base and are never home. You need to learn to read the tone of the message. We are talking about what a normal FO working the line can reasonably expect to make. You know that, we know that, yet you felt this uncontrollable need to defend the company and the ability to make more. Why?

Side Job For More Cash
 

Part time/contract remote sales force admin. I know a UA mainline guy who does this. High demand.

The conversation was on FO take home pay and you said you take home 4K per month. I’m more curious how much you credit than how much you take home. I bet there’s probably less than 5 FOs that take home what you claim to make.

What’s your average credit?

I know some FOs that can do really well working the system. Especially those that try to get their trips dropped for IOE. Some FOs just work down to 8 days off a month. I doubt you average 4K a month but I don’t think it’s crazy to say you make 4K a month occasionally or have made 4K over the past few months.

Post proof

Don’t forget an insurance agent! Weekend long class then a state exam. There will walkways be a need for life insurance!

He won’t because he’s a liar. It’s easy enough to figure out who he is. Just look at who is continuously picking up OT on the DFW 175 f/o list and process of elimination will let you narrow down who he is.
