What state can you make 21K (after taxes) on unemployment? Is that with all extensions or how long does unemployment usually last?

Actually I started on unemployment Sept 08 in Ohio. On Ohio till the end of March 09, then went to NJ. It is with extensions now at this point but I think it will at least run me to june or july of 2010. And knowing where I worked to qualify for what I'm getting and knowing where some other people worked they must be getting more then me. I'd have to look it up but for me i think it was something like 25weeks in OH, then 25 weeks in NJ and now I think there are 2 twenty week extensions. And I thing one can extend it longer then that but it takes more work to do it.

This is the thread that reinforces the notion that 100k is still some form of impressive wage. Maybe in 1980.

I was impressed with the 286 block hour accomplishment. Nice.

When are pilots going to realize that 100k isn't anything to gloat about, and maxing out in the neighborhood 200k for 1 or 2% of the profession is down right pathetic.

I concur. Miserable profession. 15 years of aviation, 2nd year Delta Air Lines FO: 2009 pay was 72k not counting per diem. Worked my ass off- almost 800 block hours.

Wow... I almost make what a 23 year old computer science major makes. Envy me.

Year 5 Jetblue 320 FO

$117,500 gross plus last paycheck that gets paid on Jan 8th, so about $122k

includes $6500 retro check

plus $12,000 of 401k match and 5% profit share.

Total $134,000 plus per diem of about $8000

subtract taxes, $3200 of co pay for crappy insurance, $1500 insurance premiums, $2800 for crash pad, 40 hours a month for commuting to work like a w-hore to credit 100 hrs per month.

Supporting my family and happy considering macro economic conditions but far from satisified with my career as the previous poster mentioned.

Guys were making the same in 1980..... Adjust that for inflation and realize that we make peanuts

Why would you include your Jan 8th check in you '09 total? I'm guessing your first amount of $117,500 included wages earned in '08 that were paid the first week of '09.

 

[SpauldingSmails]

CPS 2nd yr. CA 68k taxable, 78k ttl earnings (per diem + 401k contrib).

... paid about 20k in ttl taxes, don't spent it all in one place Uncle Sam and MN.

Far from a kingly sum, but compared to the 32k I made last year, a very welcome change.

Let me correct myself. Miserable job. The Wal-Mart employee has more right referring to their job as a profession, they've got some upside potential after all. I'm just pedaling the wheel.

 

[FO 4 Life]

3 yr Oops FO - 142 hours block - 123k as of 10 days ago

Doesn't include per diem, A or B fund

 

[RedDogC130]

3rd year SWA $121K...no per diem since that should not count in how much you made....nor does profit sharing or any company contribution to 401K........just how much I earned flying a 737 without any of the above listed


why do people try to count their per diem in how much they earned?or their company contributions to 401K....per diem barely pays for my food and beer./QUOTE]

SO how much did you make flying your aircraft in 2009......not what you get paid in on Jan 8th 2010 since that is not 2009....not perdiem since that is not your PAY and please do not count perdiem since that is to cover daily cost such as food and beer....also...we do not need to know all your expenses....it does not matter..thanks.

Sorry reddog I did not read your directions or rules prior to posting. And I didnt include expenses such as groceries, hookers, etc.. I included job necessary expeses that directly take away from my bottom line that may be of interest to others to compare to their situation.

The second two weeks of our december flying and premium pay get paid on the 8th of the following month so technically our numbers only show 35 hours of straight pay and in the case of this month ( which has been crazy with gar's and rsl. etc) will be 43 hrs straight pay and 40 hours of time and a half premium. 95x38=3610 ,, 142x40=5700 ,, 118 hrs for december total

straight pay nothing included:

Yr 5 JFK 320 FO $117,500

I don't know why you wouldn't want to hear about somebody's per diem? At certain carriers per diem can amount to a significant portion of earnings. Sure it is supposed to cover expenses but if you are getting continuous per diem or a high hourly rate it becomes a good chunk of change. What people want to know is what your bottom line amounts to; how much money ends up in your bank account. Who cares how it is divvied up?
