Avg SkyWest Capt Pay - 6-7yr
 

I know what the pay rates are but trying to figure out what the average 6-7 year Capt pay is at SKW on the RJ.

Thanks!

I found this on APC; Most junior CRJ captain hired: Sep 2006 (MSP).

I'm a 3/07 hire and I have a been a captain for a couple of years. To answer the OP's question, I made about $60,000 on the EMB-120.

It depends on how much you decide to fly. It's like asking what's the average temperature of the USA? It depends.

I know this guy who did that in the right seat of the jet one time.

It really depends how much you want to work. You want to work minimum guarantee? Then add 3 zeros to the end of the hourly rate and that's what you're looking at pre-tax.

I don't think we have any 6-7 year captains on the RJ... Even the Brasilia upgrade time is getting close to 7 years now.

Ya. I did last year and should do even more this year. Right seat RJ.
Gotta get creative and hunt for soft time.

That's pathetic. Regional FO pay was never meant to go beyond 2-3 years, yet here we are.:mad:

XJT is under the INC umbrella. $100K isn't that hard after 7 or 8 years on the ERJ if you pick up some 200% trips here and there and work the soft time pay. I averaged about 15 days off a month last year if you include vacation.

Compared to other regionals hardly anyone is leaving. I move up maybe 10 per month while my friends at other regionals are moving up 90/month. I bet if we take a concessionary contract our upgrade time will drop back down to 2 years too when they jump ship.

To answer the OP's question, as a 6-7 year RJ captain I made about $89,000 on reserve. YMMV.

As a senior jet FO at SkyWest, one can bring down $60,000-$80,000. Have to be able to hold soft time to do so, but it's possible.

I'm hoping to bring down $120,000-$150,000 this year between all my income sources. So it's possible to make a good living on a FO schedule, just have to work hard, take few days off, and develop some skills outside of flying.

Don't get comfortable with that and stop you from moving on to the majors.

Apples and oranges? What other sources? We are talking about only flying.

Our work rules and pay aren't bad. It's a hard decision to give up a schedule of doing all locals and standups making 100k/year and go back to reserve for the chance to make 150k. I'm definitely going to try to move on, but I can see where a lot of people are coming from who don't know if they want to.

If our company were treating us like RAH, Eagle or 9E treat their employees then a lot more people would be moving on.

I'd like to make a polite request for a $6000+ FO monthly pay stub screen shot

Seems possible. That's 100 hrs a month at $49 an hour. 80k on the other hand would need about 135 hrs a month at $49.

LOL I can't like this enough. First beer is on me for a pilot that can produce this...

...The rest of the night is on them though!

100*49=???

$1,100 in per diem is a lot!

I made $72k as a lineholding Bro captain on year 7 pay. It's been less than a year as an RJ captain so I don't have a total but the monthly gross amounts have been between $7-9k.

|. I'm raising the flag on this......:cool:

102 hours x $49=$4998 for 12 months is $59976. I didn't even factor in per diem or tax for that matter.

No joke, I flew with a FO who said he made $70k the previous year. I almost spit out my coffee. The amount you would have to work as a junior FO lineholder to earn that is insane. The guy was a commuter with marital issues and I could see why...he was never home! The most I ever made as an FO was mid 50s and I thought I worked a decent amount for that.

Or ExpressJet...

This is probably not true for the most part, but there were circumstances in the past that made this very attainable, when we were extremely short staffed. Back in the summer of '07 they offered time and a half for ANY open time picked up at ANY time in any base. They would even deadhead you elsewhere and pay time and a half for that as well if you desired. Living in SFO, I could routinely find three day trips in ORD and upon calling, scheduling would deadhead me to ORD and back to fly the entire trip for junior man pay. That would routinely be 25 hours plus at time and a half, so I could see how it could be accomplished in that scenario. In today's day and age, I just don't see it happening.

In Summer 2011 they paid all open time at 200%. Life was good if you were senior enough to bid down to min hours each month and pick up the rest.

The most I have ever nade at SkyWest was $62,764 that was as an fo in 2011.

This.......

The biggest problem with being at SkyWest. You get comfortable very easy.

At XJT you can make 6 figures pre-tax in the training center. This is as an FO.

^yeah but that's not even close to normal. He probably worked through all his vacations picking up 200% when offered, has no social life, and lives to work, not the other way around. The xjt training center has always been a place for people like that.

You'd need two screen shots. Semimonthly pay at SkyWest.

What FO at SkyWest makes $49/hour?

One that has been here for 8 years and flies the 900

I've seen it done with standups and volunteer reserve (pre-117) by someone who was a glutton for punishment. He was holding 6-6.5 hour standups and volunteering to sit reserve for 3:57 on any off day that didn't cause a duty time violation. The final montly credit was 135. Since he was doing mostly standups block was fairly low so the only worry back then was 24 off in 7. I can't imagine most people could do 135 credit multiple months in a row though.

That's per month...

So again check your math on the original challenge of pay stub(s) showing $6,000+ for a MONTH

Not at 102 hours a month they aren't. Credit was used for the calculation. The $49/hour is based on BLOCK. Soft time isn't paid at 900 rates.

I'm a 4th year FO.
I get paid:
$40.60/hr CRJ200
$43.04/hr CRJ700
$43.85/hr CRJ900

This year between 12/16/13 - 04/15/14 my gross is $21195
The 1st paycheck of the year contains the last 2 weeks of the previous year pay. That accounts for 4 months of pay.

$21195 / 4 mos. = $5300 per month average
$5300 per mo. * 12 mos. = $63585

There are guys who do more than me.
There are FOs with more longevity that could top $6k/mo.
There are NOT a lot of FOs making $5k+ per month, it's probably about 10% of FOs who do it.

But if you hustle, constantly, look for 1.5x pay whenever you can get it, pick up rsv days on days off whenever there's no open time but the company is short, pick up open time in other bases to chase higher credit days than available in your domicile (that's commutable so you're not paying for hotels), it is totally doable.
If you want/need it, you can do it. But you gotta know scheduling rules and FARs like the back of your hand to find creative ways to make stuff work.
Or just fly a lot of only standups, then its easy to make that.:rolleyes:

The guy is right. That said I made 48000 in my 3rd year without trying. I only fly the 700. I don't live to work though, pretty much the other way around..

I'm in my third year and I can't come anywhere near holding 700 trips...I've flown 20 hours in the 700 in the past year most of which I picked up.
