What is the best way to determine the most realistic/conservative figure on first and second year earnings? I understand there are many variables (type & base for starters). Probably a different thread out there already, but I missed it. Any insight greatly appreciated.
Start in June, you’ll make 2 months of training pay at $2K. Once you finish in August, you’ll be at the $88.14 mark. 75 X $88.14 X 5 = $33K plus a bit for M&IE, night over ride, int’l M&IE, etc. Added to what you made prior to June.
Starting 1 May, the first year rate is $88.14, 2nd year 320 is $$119.54 and 2nd year 190 is $98.68. May 2020, 1st year rate is $89.90, 2nd year is $121.92 on the 320, and $100.66 on the 190. As the navy guy said, multiply times 1000 to get a rough estimate.
190 will hold a line and potentially earn more inside 3-4 months. 320 you may be on RSV as long as a year, though those times should be dropping soon due to the 144 slots that have opened since 1 Jan.

Hourly rate x 1000 is easy to do in a regular year (not counting per diem and 401k). I worked as little as possible and still did it. Figure 2 months of training pay first year at $2k each plus 10 months of 75 hours x $88 first year and $120 second year. But you’ll likely be a line holder at some point on year 2 and make 85-90 hours a month.
$80k/$120k is prob a conservative number for low effort. I know guys working VDAs who are making a lot more than that though.

What Beat Navy said, but factor in when you start.

The biggest difference I would imagine comes from being a line holder or not. JFK 190 guys seem to get to a line the quickest right now. Once holding a line, you tend to get more credit as well as more days off. Hourly pay is equal on the two airplanes the first year, but holding a line means being able to trade trips and pick up more flying typically.

So i did a brief search and came up empty. I apologize for a somewhat hijack of the way this thread is going. What hours are realistically competitive for getting hired at JB?
I have a litte over:
2000 tt
500turbine all 121
1200 pic
But no 121 pic/tpic
Second time i have applied. I realize i’m probably less qualified than most/all other applicants getting jobs, but how much so?
Anyone hired with relatively low time care to share their times?

TPIC is not a requirement and I had a few classmates that didn’t have any. I personally think it’s good to have.

Just spent the last hour filling out the application online. I figured each time I clicked "next" it would save and move on.
BUT
Apparently not! Clicked "next" again after sorting though the work experience section (took a bit of time since it pulled from the resume but needed a bunch of information fixed) and it timed out and lost all information on the application...
Really?
SO Warning... click "save and finish later" often!!
