Oh yeah...I forgot....the reason why Bedford is going to buy us...the mighty MRJ

Are the bonuses a pretext to a contract to stay? I heard it can be prorated.

Bonuses? We don't need no stinking bonuses at TSA......

Sorry to bump an old thread but this did seem the best place to put it..

Any rough ballpark figure as to what a Y1 FO will take in premium flying pay & Per Diems per month?

Thanks in advance!

On reserve at the moment it is easy to credit 85-90 hours @ ~$37/hr (not sure 1rst year pay) and 250+ hours @ 1.90 tax free. $3145 + $475 = $3620/ month on reserve.


It's rare for a lineholder to end up crediting less than 85 hours these days... even trying to work the minimum you will probably get around 85 hours. Lineholders can easily credit 100+ hours if you are trying to make money. I fly with guys crediting 115-120+. Plus 275-300 hours of per diem. $3700 + $520 = $4220/month.

how many days off did you have? how many days could someone have off if focused that way aside from making extra cash?

Talked with the recruiters this week to confirm on some of the new bonus money they are throwing around for new hires. The first year compensation for FO's seem to be much more appealing. 15k after completion of IOE, 10k for type rating, and an additional 15K after 1 year of time. Have an old Army buddy flying as an FO and he picked up 100 hours for the first month of the year. So, hours seem to be fairly good as well. First year compensation is being advertised as 95K. Salute!

Received the latest TSA recruiting offer in today’s mail...$60,000 FO bonus. Surprised me that it wasn’t in my daily blast from ALPA
