how much do reserve new 737 FOs make in LGA. What about with the 321 do they make more?

 

Probably not the best place for this discussion, but the hourly wages are posted on APC Airline Profiles.

For 2025, it's about $120 first year, $185 second year. Airbus and 737 are the same.

 

It is a great place for this discussion, since you brought it up.

There is virtually a 100% chance that anyone going to AA starts out as a narrowbody FO, probably somewhere in the NE if I had to guess, and there are no guarantees that they get much further than that for the next few years.

You told everyone here that WB FOs at AA with nearly a decade on property are making narrowbody CA pay. That's great and all, but what does that do for someone looking to jump ship for AA in the near future when hiring resumes? A lot can change between now and even five years from now, and they may never see that by the time they get to WB FO.

If you don't believe that there are closed door conversations going on over at the big 3 over how to get labor costs back down after the post COVID boom, then you are extremely naive. They are coming for your money, sooner or later, but I suspect sooner.

Never underestimate the power of American greed. But who really knows, maybe I'm just jaded.

I'm young enough that I never got to experience the golden years of the 90s, but also old enough that my airline career hasn't resembled a trip to Disneyworld.

 

yup. Those who started out in the early 2000s got shafted the most.(9/11, 2008 downturn along with Age 65 etc) Those who got their PPL during or right before COVID look like they hit the absolute perfect time. No TPIC, No college not much TT and are now a few thousand numbers in at a legacy. Truly incredible timing.

 

Yes and to top it off, there has been once in a lifetime seniority progression at legacies. Those hired early post C19 are now sitting 11,000 of 18,000 in 3 years at DAL for example. Good for them.

 

depends on how the Wednesday night peggings are going

 

This is gold

 

You mean 2.5 years into your career you weren't making videos on "Let me show you how I prep my 777 for a flight to Korea?" "Let me show you how I work the radio out of SFO." "These rooms in the Pacific theater are much better than the tiny European ones." Hey man....he just didn't want to settle for those Erie and Lake Charles overnights.

 

Ithica NY.. BGM.. Allentown PA.. continue !!!!

 

"Here's the ****-box 210 I fly cancelled checks in. Yep. That's rope holding the door closed. Those mainline pilots don't know what they're missing! Just waiting for that call from Air Midwest!"
