Default 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.

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?

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

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