End of 2019 salary survey
 

Time for the annual APC salary survey. Threads like this are useful for the job seekers and can be helpful in many ways, from choosing an airline to choosing whether to live in domicile or commute. We also see outliers, regular line swine, and those who grow beards.

So same as the years prior, post your airline, years for pay, take home salary, airframe, hours flown, days worked, commuter status, bonus and any other compensation.

I'll start and preface that I'm an outlier who plays the game and lives in domicile.

Southwest
Year 3-4 FO
$240.8k of which $13.9k was profit sharing excess from 2018.
$6.9k per diem
$34k NEC/B-fund from the company.
758 hours of block time.
177 days worked according to SWAPA logbook.

Does that $240.8 include DC contribution and perdiem, or is that simply hourly pay plus profit sharing?

No, only TFP credit + PS excess for last year.

Someone says this every year. It has nothing to do with pecker measuring. This is one of the best threads on here. It really shows the difference in contracts, and how to work the system. Especially among airlines/airframes that are thought of as similar.

Frontier FO
Year 6
I don't pick up open time or fly extra
$135,000 regular pay
$4,000 per diem
$16,000 company DC
$49,000 one time only signing bonus

702 block hours flown
Averaged about 17.5 days off per month, flying a lot of day turns. I easily could have made way more money but spend as much time home with my kids as possible. Basically flew the minimum allowed by our contract

Can’t wait to see some of those Delta 350A guys chime in! Any $900k-club members?

Year 2 AS FO
140k half reserve half line holder averaging around 15 off a month. No premium or open time pickups, little bit of company/union work.

Atlas 2nd year 747 FO. $91,000 pay, $8000 per diem, $4500 retirement (5% match). Flew 570 hours and normal schedule of 17 days away per month. FML! I can only laugh because I don’t want to cry in public.

And somebody says this every year too (because it’s true)...

Per Diem in NOT income, it’s reimbursement otherwise it would be taxed.
