I'm super grateful to be at FDX but year one pay is a slap in the face. I tried to build my bank and play catch up at the squadron after training.

I do like the pay at southwest looking at these numbers, but yes those block times are brutal. Spent too many years getting burnt out in the regionals flying that much to want to make the jump to southwest. Not that widebody long haul is for everyone, but I certainly prefer it. Food for thought for pilots considering various jobs.

Sharing this, I consolidated 2021's data into one spreadsheet which I found useful while wading through last year's thread.
Disclaimer: This data isn't guaranteed to be accurate and obviously only as good as the person reporting it, and there were likely a handful of inconsistencies open to interpretation. Did my best to get a "close enough" comparison although there are several factors not captured here. Sorted by $/block and included relevant notes from the poster.

Being on the hook 18 days a month is gross. 48 hour layovers are also not appealing to me unless I am with family. This job is just that: a job. The things that matter to me are all at home.

I work to get paid. My days off and my paycheck are what makes me happy. I could care less about my block hours and honestly don't even pay attention to them. I maximize my days off by maximizing my pay on my days on.

And we totally agree on 48 hour layovers, though I’ve never seen anything close to that.

Thanks. What is the Direct Contribution percentage at SWA? Do they have a match for employee contributions?
