I'm hoping to get some insight into what a typical 1st year FO working the 7 on 7 off would make. I know the listed base salary, however I also know there are many variables that can add additional income. I'm hoping someone can explain what kind of additional pay is available etc. Thanks in advance for any help!!!

Well.......

You get free crew meals and breakfast at most hotels...maybe worth $100,000 extra a year.

Man, I cannot find a picture of those meals...Does any one have a picture? Maybe throw in a picture of a hotel coffee mug also...

Also, you get to arrive at your aircraft close to dawn on really cool fbo ramps.. They make for great photo ops. Way better than everyone else's AM departures. I lost all my early morning ramp photos. Someone on here has to have 1 or 2.

Thanks

Take the first year pay, add 10% and thats what you can expect.

As others have said, adding 8-10% to base salary is a pretty good estimate. (Mine was 8.5% last year.)

Keep in mind that as a newhire, you'll be on the "18-day training schedule" for at least the first four months or so, maybe longer depending on the timing of the schedule bids. That schedule pays 22% more money, working 20% more days, paying $76,327 annually for first-year pilots.

So 4 months of that schedule, plus 8 months of the 7/7, plus ~9% in overtime and holiday pay, puts you at roughly $73,193.

You can put 20% of your gross into a 401k, and the company will match 51% of what you put in. So if you max it out, that's another $7466 added to your bottom line, bringing you to $80,659.

Good health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your family are also included for no premium, so factor that in as you see fit. No idea of the real dollar value of that.

I actually don't mind the occasional dawn patrol, but that's my inner freight dog speaking.

The company isn't paying 2k a month to insure you and your family. Most premiums at other companies are about 800 a month for a family. I pay 650 a month where I'm at now for pretty good coverage (NetJets was pretty good coverage too) for me and my family.

Jetlife

My coverage is better now but yes I pay.

I'll correct myself. NetJets self ensures so maybe they are paying 25k a year to insure you. That doesn't mean that you'd be spending 25k if you left and worked at another company.

Stop getting so butthurt on every single word Leiber, I heard an IBB is coming lol 😂

Jetlife

No I'm with ya. The coverage is good, and it is free, that is a great benefit. But if comparing to another company, its not very fair to compare what NetJets pays to show what somebody would pay without it. That being said, 9k a year I think is very fair to say that a family at another company will pay.

You have multiple wings from multiple airlines you hypocrite, the only difference is you choose to ignore WHY you came to NetJets. Stop pretending you didn't come to NetJets because you were freaking desperate just like everyone else in 2001.

What's worse, coming to a company out of disparity and staying, or coming to see that the hype wasn't real, and leaving? You have been there 15 years and picketed, fought, stood by the pilot group and union, and at hour 11 when the new CBA was TA'd you fell on your sword, bravo sir, bravo. But ya stick it out 20 years and MAYBE the FO's will finally get something, the last 30+ years, lets just forget about that lol...

Oh and I took a paycut for year 1, I will make more than a 7 year FO on the 7/7 INCLUDING paying for health insurance next year. You should jump in the "I left NetJets for the airlines, now I wan't to come back" thread and comment in there, oh wait, it doesn't freaking exist.

That will be my last reply to you *. I am sick and tired of discussing something with another user, you coming in here and getting upset, and me having to defend myself and debate you. It is exhausting.
