Default Pay multiplier, F/O's help please

Howdy y'all, noob here.

I'm thinking of making the jump from a regional and it kind of boils down to QOL vs pay so I need your help.

I'm at about 10% company wide with ~12 yrs left before I pumpkin out. So the thought is to get on with UA and sandbag in the right seat for the duration of my career unless an upgrade outweighs at some point. I'd be giving up initial QOL for more $$ over the term but am trying to get an idea of the pay differential and whether the $$ is worth the loss of current QOL. Pay rates are known but don't tell the whole story.

That's where you come in. Would you F/O's (no offense to my fellow grey hairs) mind chiming in with your multiplier as follows:

2018 gross (not including company 16% 401k) divided by pay rate divided by credit hrs. For me it came to 1.17.
That's all I'm looking for, not actual pay. Also years on property, reserve or lineholder will be helpful too.

This will help me get a better idea of actual pay so thank you in advance.

Regionals will always and forever be whipsawed against each other to continually keep that cost as low as possible. Majors aren’t immune, but long term it’s a better and more stable job.

Regardless of which Regional you are employed with, year two pay will be about, if not more than what you're making now. Some wise old captain at one of my Regionals told me one time that it's best to have the insignia on your paycheck be the same one on the tail.

Yup a good general rule is if your company doesn't own the paint job on the plane you're flying, you need to go work for a company that does.

Do you mean block or pay hours? I “credit” or get paid way more hours than I block.

Big difference, I was thinking you wanted block. That makes it about 1.0

Reading is hard

Side note... make the move. Don’t look back. You won’t regret it.
