Current first year pay is about $62,500 based on a 17 day schedule, with no overtime and all holidays off. Someone bidding 17 days but actually working 20 as you claim would be making right around $80k first year.
Second year pay with no OT or Holidays worked would be about $70k.
Those at top of scale are not having much trouble making north of $150k and some are pushing $200k.
Sims run 18/7/365 or 19/7/365 in DFW. Does CLT have holidays off? Or are holidays voluntary at 1.5x or 2x pay? Originally Posted by CLTPilot190
Your info is a bit off. SimPs can CHOOSE a 20 day schedule, on an annual basis. They can also choose 19, 18, or 17. The base schedule is 17. The hours don't really suck, never more than 6.5 hour days and the schedule is NOT subject to change. You bid a month ahead and if something in your schedule cancels after the bid you get paid for it and can ONLY be reassigned to something in the same sim spot. Anything outside that is on a voluntary basis and it pays OT (1.5 for first two days, 2.0 after that).

GS is banker hours. Roughly 0530-1900. Frequently done by 1600-1800. Sims are 0530-0030. That's a reason an ATP GS instructor gave for not switching to SimP - easier hours.
