And I’m assuming you’re an ANC based FO flying premium China trips yes?

Unbelievable. Only our guys think that they’re some kind of special breed flying to Hawaii.

If Allegiant had a base where I lived, I would have chosen them for the reasons you posted. At least at this stage in my life.

UAL Year 1/ Year 2

Narrowbody live in base

$78k wages

$~6500 per diem

$12k 401k

Around 300 block I think

Mix of line and reserve and trying to spend less time working on the road. For new guys planning financially, you will likely make plenty more than I did.

Also, another $300k or so from my hourly wage and shares in the contracting firm I work at and partially own. Although things have been good there, I am thinking of retiring and selling my shares and just flying. I live beneath my means like John Carr said and it is great advice. I could build seniority as an FO and pick a nice schedule that will work for me and my family and should be able to make enough money at the same time.

Merry Christmas

Airline survey man., No-one cares how much you made from selling stocks or semen on the side... just an observation.

Nice Bobby. Sounds like you’re doing well. That’s one thing I really do like about being an airline pilot: the variety in schedules and desires. Some guys work hard and others take it really easy.
