End of 2019 regional survey
 

Really eye opening seeing what our major counterparts made on their thread, so here we go. (Major link: https://www.airlinepilotforums.com/major/126228-end-2019-salary-survey.html )

Threads like this are useful for those nearing ATP mins, low hour window shoppers, and those that are playing the game now. We also see outliers, regular line swine, and those who grow beards.

So same as the years prior, post your airline, years for pay, take home salary, airframe, hours flown, days worked, commuter status, bonus and any other compensation.


9E FO

Year 1/2
Live in base, half year of reserve


$51,000 guarantee
$9500 premium pay

$4759 per diem

$1330 company 401K
Some other fluff pay like LMS / quarterly


$69,500 total


Days worked: 140
Block hours: 500

Similar here:

Year 1/2 FO at 9E:

Lived in base for half of this year.
On RSV in base now (by choice), giving up my line for better QOL at home.
Blocked 370 hours.
Gross pay $75.5k.
Picked up lots of extra flying on days off in base.
Best month was ~ 130 credit.

Was commuting to NYC for first half of 2019, and was dropping a lot of RSV days, so had many < 70 credit hour months as well during that time.

Year 2 Cape Air Captain (if we count as a regional)

94k
4500 to the 401k
6-12 days off a month

Worked entirely way too much but I did have the entire month of October off.

Year 2/3 ZW FO/CA
Upgraded roughly halfway through the year.
Sim and CPT instructor.

Averaged 6-7 days off a month.

Average credit of 115-125 or so.

Regular pay 52,000

Overage 27,000

Instructor override 2,000

Sick/vacation pay 2,300

Soft pay (med exam, IBT completion etc) 350

Per diem 3,600

Company 401k (I max) 5,800

Grossed roughly 91,000 total. I’d guess I’d have probably made 125 or so if I had been a captain all year. Worked way too much but overall satisfied.

PDT
Year 3-4captain/sim guy

Block 2.0Hrs
210 Nights away
Made my own schedule
Base 107k
OT 30k
Per Diem spent on fun times
Burnouts in rentals. Plenty
Positive space every time
Schemes successful. 100%

Year 1/2 PDT FO
$39,XXX guarantee
$20,XXX premium
$6,XXX per diem
$10,XXX bonus/vacation/401k match

$75k total for 240 days worked

This reflects significant triple premium pay which was greatly reduced the second half of the year. I’ll figure next year will be less.

PDT LCA (yos 3-4)

Base 68.5k
Over Guarantee 34k
LCA Override 12.7k
PD 6.2k
Triple Play $900
Profit Sharing 1.6k
Total 125k not including 401k contributions

Picked up a lot for 1-2 months, 1-2 days of 3x for 3-4 months, flew my line and turned my phone off for the rest of the year.

You guys definitely have it better in sim land :(
