But, you should be able to get a decent idea by using the numbers on there now. I will caution that present performance in FDP is certainly no indicator of future performance. I will go back to my advice that while FDP and other soft money does come with showing up to work, I would caution against making any financial plans based off soft money.

Good plan but doesn’t work here. Too much soft pay.

Eh… might have gotten the Sovereign or the XL. What those pilots make in FDP is NOT what flight ops management was telling prospects they would make at job fairs.
That IS one primary reason many pilots leave feeling taken advantage of. Both of those fleets need to be replaced ASAP and turned to beer cans.
Soft money to total pay is to large a ratio as well. 70/30 would be doable to budget from. 50\50 is just too aggressive towards the company side.
And really, what matter is “who’s fault is it” if too many leave and NJA can’t service commitments?
