Currently we have a short term agreement on extended days pay that pays 2.5 times your regular daily rate per extended day. The daily rate is the salary for the schedule you are on divided by the number of days per year you would work on that schedule. Once the short term agreement ends, it is back to the normal 1.5 times your daily rate for each extended day. If you didn't want to extend and the company doesn't get you home by midnight or would have put you over 14 hours of duty to get you home on your last day and you refuse and get home the next day, you receive 2 regular extended days (3 days of pay and not paid at the new 2.5 per day rates). Hourly overtime is the yearly salary of the schedule you are currently on divided by 2184 and then multiplied by 1.5. Night pay is a flat $50 per hour for flight time between 11pm and 6am in the time zone your flight started in. There is some night duty pay that is possible, but complicated and rarely paid out. All these and the FDP can add up to 50K+ for new pilots. Unfortunately, they are all considered soft money since you have no control over how much or how little you get and when you are getting it, you are most definitely earning it.
