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?

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.

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!
