I still feel that the best way to compare across airlines is to take total compensation (pay, 401k match and company contributions including to HSA, per diem, etc) divide either by total block hours or days worked, which includes reserve days not used and paid sick days. This would give a better idea of not just compensation but also to QOL since it would take soft time into consideration.

I think you're overthinking it. Individuals don't use accrual accounting unless they are running a fairly large business. Us regular folks pay income taxes based on which year we receive and/or lose our money. i.e cash accounting.

Let’s make a new thread called “no one has their final paystub yet” or “I think the survey should be done this way” and move all those types of responses there so this one can be primarily pilots responding to the survey.

It violates IRS rules (for the normal working folks) to count a Jan 2023 paycheck in your 2022 W2. Whatever you get paid in 2022 counts. So your Dec work paid in 2023 goes in your W2 of 2023. Talk to your accountant.

Breeze, year 1 CA
1 month training pay, which was $2,500, 3 months of year 1 FO pay, 8 months CA pay, which changed/increased 3 times this year. 393 hours blocked
$213,500 gross (doesn’t count what I will earn Dec 16-31)
$8,181 employer 401k match
Excluding training for initial FO OE and upgrade, I stayed in 3 hotels. Every other night spent at home. Live in base, drive to work. Average 10 days of work per month
While I’m happy, regionals are paying the same amount now (although WAY more work for it). Crazy to think a few years ago I commuted halfway across the country to make 32k a year at my regional
