Not sure what you are trying to say here? Where does the $40.17 come from?

It's what an FO makes per hour at Piedmont their second year till they upgrade. I think it moves up to $40.66 or something close after April, 1st contract raise.

Take that times the 75 hour guarantee, and $36,153 is your second year pay. I guess $46,153 with the retention bonus. Not sure where the $57k is from...

According to this: Piedmont Airlines | AirlinePilotCentral.com

It's over $41 an hour. Not sure which is more accurate, I know APC doesn't always get updated correctly.

But as to my totals above, with bonuses, were those numbers pretty accurate?

Anyone care to speculate on available open time and premium pay over spring/summer months this year?

We can only see a month in advance, but plenty of triple premium available. I personally don't see how people do it, since the majority of lines are min days off!

I'm pulling the number off my paycheck, so I'd say it's pretty accurate. Don't know about the bonuses, was hired before that. But, if you count on anything above guarante, your just going to screw yourself. So far, my Jan, feb and mar lines are less than 75 hours. But, at least you get guarantee.

The retention bonus is 20K total, but only 10k/yr. so 20k over 2nd and 3rd year. By 2nd yr you should be eligible to upgrade, so you just get 2 yr ca pay then or 63/hr. The ca bonus of 7,500 is not over the FO bonus, so you won't get that again.

And using $42 for second year, 75 min guarantee, that would be about $57,800 with the $20K FO retention bonus.

Are these numbers about right?

Thanks for the assist fellas.

So 1st year at PDT for a new hire without 121 time, it's $35,100 + $16,200 or $51,300.

2nd year is $36,153 + $10,000 or $46,153.

And I completely agree with you on the min guarantee, Brokeasspot. I don't do any magical doctoring of numbers like TSA does when they make their claim of $75K first year pay, or Envoy's $60K claim. Min guarantee plus bonus at signing is all I look at.

Oh, and I trust you on the pay rate BAP... only questioned the source because of the salary difference here on APC. Thank you for providing a more correct number!
