45 × 100 ×12 = 54,000
But I think they're including the bonus in it

However;
In our contract there is a premium for crediting over 87 block hours (125%), overtime essentially.
Sometimes there is 150% (yellow flag) and even 200% (red flag) flying available when there are problems scheduling crews. If you worked those last two items carefully you could make over 45K.

125% is dumb for over 87 block. It should be credit. It’s only like $12 extra per hour. It’s really hard to block over 87 in the first place. Repblic won’t let you pick anything up above 95 hours due to chance of “delays”. Not toobig of deal. Keeps both the pilot legal and the company with regard to 117.
If you can squeeze an extra 8 hours in there it comes to $96 before tax.
It’s prob included though in that first year pay.
