From: MEC Chairman, Snack Basket Committee
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

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.
