I fly corporate but have thought about making the switch in the next year. I know it really depends on a lot of different factors, but with pay now at $36.50/hr, what can an FO realistically expect to make? Based off the previous post, ~$46k?

There's a $7500 bonus for prior 121/135 or type rating over 12,500 pounds (regardless of pic/sic). You only get the bonus once ie you won't get 15k for being typed in a G5 flying corporate. Generally you make hourly x 1000 minimum do you're looking at 37,000 plus bonus if applicable. That doesn't include pilot sharing which varies.

Well FWIW, I have made slightly over $36k thus far on $36.50 per hour; was on reserve for four months, thereafter I had a line ever since. I am on month ten of one full year being here, so I will likely make slightly more than $40k for year one. It took a heck of lot of OT flying roughly 90 to 100 block per month for every month of being here to do that. No sign-on bonus, if any of you get that good for you.

Wow
It wasnt long ago I netted less than 20k.

This is good to see.

Last I heard SKYW did have a conditional sign on bonus for qualifying applicants.

No bonus except for the one that all pilots get (can't remember which one). Believe it or not, I spent more time on reserve than I would have liked but I picked up some extra flying, some at OT, and some junior manning. I broke guarantee a couple times. If I was a line holder the whole time, I probably would have made more. I included per di in the total figure, but I figured if some of the other companies are including that in their total compensation figures, I would throw it in there too.
