Sorry if I missed it, but what is real-world, after taxes, net pay monthly for Year-1 ?


Thank you

There's too many factors, how many dependents do you claim, state income tax. Roth or Pre tax 401K, Medical/Dental, the list goes on.

is $2000 net a reasonable expectation, monthly ?


No state income tax (Texas), wife and kids. fairly plain-jane deductions

Sorry if my position is direct; but wasting people’s time asking how much you will make first year while trying to “bail”, waste of time

I disagree. If we continue to have a high turnover rate, it's possible, (not likely, but possible) that it will get noticed by higher-ups. While the next contract is still far away, a high turnover rate is a bargaining chip, albeit a weak one, as we found out last year.

I ask all my 20-something FO's if they have their stuff out and take small pleasure when they say that they do. Yes, I've committed to a career here for my own reasons, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

As long as they don't approach it with an entitled and condescending attitude, that is.

Anyone who posts a thread in the Southwest section asking “envoy or Spirit” as the best path to SWA, must have “SWA” written across his forehead.

Best of luck to you. I personally don’t want to share a flight deck with someone who thinks this place is on par with any regional; I don’t want that mindset at this place.

And it’s insukting to those of us who are making a career out of this place while you view it as a stepping stone. I’d rather not waste a class spot on someone like you.

9 months under new contract and 3 under old, and signing bonus; I’ll make $300k this year. Next year without the signing bonus I’ll make over $250k easily. This ain’t a regional, brother.

You don’t have a minute of jet or 121 time to your resume. You are not a preferred hire or even likely to get an interview.

Anybody's guess now. We are just beginning to staff MCO and it's unknown how the back fill will go.

There are many jets coming between now and the end of Q1, so I wouldn't imagine long.

This is the key..base reductions as we increase DFW. Bases like DFW might be getting smaller before they start to grow again. And DFW growth has been slower than the other bases over the last 5 years.

Any pilot looking to get hired on now, needs to realize DFW might take a while to hold as we grow MCO, and sort through the guys hired on before who are waiting to go as well.

Any guess on how many DFW FO’s currently would want to move to MCO? (ie, they commute from Central Florida/ South east region)

7-9 months to reliably hold at least a relief line. I'm five months on property and a couple classes back from the most junior relief lines.

And you can drop the whole thing if you don’t like what is sent to you and he reserve grid supports it. They offer a lot of flexibility.

And others have said, you can’t drop reserve on relief lines. You’ll have to swap into a trip and drop the trip if it’s green.

Where did you even get this information? Because is nowhere in our contract and only sets people up for anger and disappointment when they don’t “get” what they requested.
