I'm curious what math you used for this figure. My math is showing 35x9=315 weekly min. x52= $16380

That's if you plan on only working 35 hours a week, which is quite easy to exceed here working full time.

do you have the ability to work only 35 hours one week then "full time" the next?

So what numbers did you use?

the company only employees a few FOs most are making 15/hr or more and getting overtime if they want.

Now I'm lost. So is it $9/hr or $15/hr and how much overtime are people getting in the winter?

sorry, that was confusing. fo pay 9/hr capt 15/hr for first year. what i was saying was that there are so few first officers on the 402 (like half a dozen) that it is not reflective of what the pilots get paid. also there is overtime pay available.

I'm under the impression that they have more than six FOs...

A friend of mine is finishing up in an FO class as we speak, and I'm scheduled for the next FO class.

Of course, if you work there, you'd have a better idea than I do and can set me straight!

Yeah, the 10/6 class is mostly FOs. Not sure about the 10/20 class. There are quite a few people who do SIC work who don't appear as such on the seniority list, i.e. mail pilots who aren't flying the mail that day.

There are about 15-18 FO's on the property for the winter months. The hope is the majority of them will have their ATP min's by the summer of 2009 and upgrade. We are growing and buying a/c, it is a great place to work.

For the pay, figure 40 hours per week at $9/hr. Most FO's will probably work 45 hours per week, so add 5 hours at 13.50/hr (OT rate).

$360 + $67.50 = $427.50 per week. When the FO's gets 1200 hours TT they take a PIC ride and get a pay raise to $11/hr, you can figure the number from there. When they get their ATP they go to $15/hr.

Hope this helps. [email protected] for more information.
