Monthly average credit

Frontier pilot here. Can you advise what average monthly credit hours are for line holders? Is there a difference between Captains and First Officers?

Monthly guarantee 70 hours, correct?

Thanks

80-85 is average. Usually about the same for CA/FO. Can drop to 70 (if grid supports it) and trade below 70 if someone picks up your trips. Min guarantee is 70 for line holders, 75 for reserves.

I honestly don’t think it’s that high. 78-81 average.

With the new ALV system in place, average line values have generally been going up. Jan has E190 FO: 79:45, CA: 82:15, and 320 FO: 80:15 CA: 83:30, and it’s a 30 day bid period, in a slow month. When I was on the 190 I averaged 70-75 credit, but I think those days are over.

How would you like us to spend our money?
