Default 2nd/3Rd FO Pay

Hello everyone, I keep doing my research as you can see, this time planning a little bit my finances in the next couple of years.

I know what to expect 1st year including type rating bonus, total $71,100 as they advertise it. Zero complaints there.

What about 2nd/3rd year as an FO without those bonuses?. I know about the extra $10k/year if you fly more than 70h/month (is that correct?). But I'd like to know the earning potential apart from the min. guarantee. Would it be realistic to expect a similar W2 compared to first year? Assuming one can pick up open time often and is willing to work hard?


Thank you guys

Third year XJT FO here. Before taxes I made $72K in 2018. Hope that helps shed some light!

Mine was similar to the first answer. I live local and fly a lot.

Not an absurd amount. Every now and then I do. I generally just bid higher value lines.

I have 2 shins. One one each leg. How many shins does a jet have? I don't think it has any. Maybe I'm wrong.

We got pay raises on top of a good contract.

Melit is taking a pay cut to fly “shinny new CRJ-550s”.

Tremendously ironic
