Is it possible to make $65k on year one? Working extra time of course. How likely would it be to bring in at least $5k a month?

It’s a little difficult to offset the first 2.5-3 months of training pay, $1800 isn’t much.

Some of your total depends on what the movement/hiring is when you get here. I teetered back and forth between reserve/line my first full calendar year. I put myself on the premium list during days off when on reserve and ironically sometimes made more than the months I had a hard line, (Premium trips go on top of reserve guarantee) but it’s tough to do that if you don’t live in/near base.

Yeah, those first months are brutal. But after that, crediting 90-95 hrs a month on year one could happen?

Occasionally if you are lucky with x/y list trips others wise no way.

A couple of months this year, I was able to do 90+ on reserve, by being used every reserve day, along with a few Move up with no X/Y. However, don’t expect it everyone month.

Even as a line holder 90 is tough?

If you live in base it’s tough not to credit 90+ hours a month. 100+ is fairly easy.

If you live in an outstation, the Y list helps. Some outstations are more lucrative than others. I know a guy on Florida’s Gold Coast who credits 130+ a month, religiously, mostly off of last minute Y trip calls for RSW and TPA and the occasional MCO...

If you live in BFE, well then that’s entirely dependent on your willingness to work mostly for straight time I suppose...

When I started here, I had one week of unused vacation at my last job and 3 weeks of accrued vacation for the NEXT year they owed me. Between my last paychecks and the vacation payout, I took around 20k in payouts into my training pay months. If you save that to offset the training pay it’s not that painful. It sucks, but it’s easily doable.
