I'm on second year SKW pay and I'm on track to make 55K this year. I qualified for and bought a house this year, have a two year old car, motorcycle, and have plenty of fun in my off time. No help from the parents and yes I have student loans too. It's really not as bad as a lot of people on this forum make it out to be. No kids or wife tho. Life is good when you appreciate what you do have.

100 hours a month is a bit optimistic, 90 is more realistic but you'd had in performance/financial rewards and now profit sharing it's really not bad to be a FO

Which only helps make my point. They will be out of business in 5 years and yet got an increase to their industry leading contract. And Skywest, who is the most successful regional ever and will be in business forever, stays mediocre.

Part of the reason they are going out of business is their contract, but hey I'm sure the raise will make up for being unemployed in a few years.

Now add in the wife and kids along with being California based on that amount and see where it gets you...
