First year FO at MESABA-

You would average:

88 BLK 90 Credit 300 TAFB 14 Days Off

$22.81 /hr x 90 = $2052.90
$ 1.55/hr x 300 = $ 465.00
$2517.90

Pick up a 4 day (20 hrs) at time and a half
$2,517.90 + $684.30 = $3,202.20 (Gross, does not include additional per diem)

PD is mostly tax free.
This is an actual line in Detroit for october. Don't bother shooting it down.
I'll just end up posting it to prove it.

Yeah........., however I do a lot, 90% day-trips so think about how much I am losing on both the lack of per-diem, and the taxing o any per-diem I do have

No state income tax.

nice..................

I need to move back to Seattle...

It should also be noted how productive your lines are as well, this month ( I was FBO'd for 7hrs) I have a line value of 83 hrs, +4hr dead head and (drum roll please..........................) 18 days off :)

FIRST year Cape Air Capt. 45000$ This was 11 months in New England and 1 in the Caribbean. Also included the mins months while your in training.

No longer there full time but it was fun.:)

But how can you pick up a 20 hour 4-day after having 88 hours original block? Just curious....

Good question, I guess maybe there is a lot of soft-time built into the pairing, although 8 hrs of soft time seems kinda strange & wastful

Good point- I am used to the crap contract at PNCL where the block/credit are normally within a couple hours unless you get bought off or happen to pick up something at 150% (normally its only 100% pay). Just curious..
