Either he was lying to you, you misunderstood him, or he is one of a few rare “uncapped” instructors who isn’t capped at 9th yr FO pay which is what the UPA dictates(Uncapped Instructors are guys who were grandfathered under the previous contract or won a grievance to match those who were grandfathered)Originally Posted by Andy
I had a chat with a friend who's a guppy PI. He's pulling down quite a bit of cheddar; much more than I would as a 777 FO flying 90 hrs/mo on yr 12 pay. I'd need to do ~130 hrs/mo to make the same.Either he was lying to me or PIs are getting a ton of credit hours every month.
Per the UPA, I/Es (no longer PIs), are maxed out as “best held” 90 hrs per month plus $1215 override, so that would be the min. Best held means u have to be at least senior 1 WB FO to get WB pay.
Max of 3 overtimes at 5.3 hrs for 1st 2 OTs and 200% on 3rd OT makes a a max of 21.2 hrs add pay. So the max would be 111.2 hrs of 9th yr FO pay + $1215.
Evaluators(Captains) are not capped obviously, but the same hourly rate applies, $111.2 is max hrs plus override($1350 or
$1485)
Historically speaking it was a snowballs chance in hell to get 3 OT events. It’s only the last 3-6 months where this has been easier on the 737 fleet due to shortages.
If your friend was TDY from IAH last summer, then he was getting paid Per Diem for the time he was away from home + $25 a day for the days he worked. TDY pay went away last August.
