New FO - What to expect?
Hey Everyone
New FO here who just accepted a class date with TSA. There were a lot of pros and cons that led me to this decision, however it was the one that I ultimately came to make.
Continuing, I am curious on everyone’s first hand experience with the company. As a first year FO, how much should one expect to make in a month? I know this isn’t an important aspect, however as being someone that has a 1200 a month student loan with a 12.5% interest rate, it’s slowly but surely strangling me and am simply trying to budget out my life accordingly.
Also, how is the flying at TSA? I’m just looking for a genuine answer regarding the time flown, upgrade times, etc from a line pilot instead of what just a recruiter says.
Thanks!

Prob $2500-3000/month. $2500 if you're crediting closer to min, 95 hours will prob get you closer to $3000. Then your bonus payouts will be on top of that (but they take a big tax witholding hit).
If you work hard it is reasonably possible to credit 100-110+ as a line holder. Plus building 1000 hours for upgrade will happen quicker.
Live cheap, drive a beater, pick up open time, get loans paid down... use good payment history to refinance.
