No that would not be correct. Since all pilots fly all 3 series of airplanes all the time, there is no incentive or benefit for the company to want to keep pilots locked into particular bases.

It's more likely that the new hires misunderstood what was said.

Is there anywhere to see the current up to date blended pay rates? Maybe the ALPA page...

We get an email every quarter with the new blended rates. Check your old company email.


Blended Rate 1st Quarter 2015

Years..................CA Rate.............FO Rate
0-1 Years.............61.67..................24.05
1-2 Years.............65.03..................34.50
2-3 Years.............66.63..................37.45
3-4 Years.............70.01..................38.81
and it continues from there.

The one on APC is a little outdated.

i'm right. Your wrong.

Perhaps someone was misled but we get lied to on a daily basis. I'd assume someone in management was wrong about this. They have no idea what we do or how we do it.

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. First year FO pay after taxes is ~$800 on the 5th, and around $1400 on the 20th based on your per diem. Your pay in training is actually higher than when you are on the line based on the 24/7 per diem. If you signed up for the A plan med bennies, i think that is $500 month, so you see there really isn't much left. Make sure you have a war chest/guard gig/ or spousal income before becoming a regional FO.

Not even $800 on the 5th, more like high 6's...

A Plan for employee and spouse is 497, but B plan is 221. The B plan is still really good coverage and quite frankly the A plan didn't make a lot of financial sense.

Always opt for Plan B unless you are going to have a baby born that year. Just a little advice.

If you are a lineholder, ~$800 is correct. Half of your per diem goes towards your check on the 5th.

What are you smoking? Nobody is being mislead on this question.
