UALjan15 said:I think what he is saying is that you can have the highest hourly pay on the chart, but if you're only flying 43 hours/month, your paycheck is going to suck.
Snoopy58 said:Pay rate is one part of the picture, but it isn't the whole thing, not by a long shot.
ironwedge said:For an example:
Pilot A: A Kitty Hawk pilot has the opportunity to fly 75 hours per month for 12 months ($174*75*12=$156,600).
Pilot B: A Southwest pilot that drops trips to get an adjusted* credit time of 65 hours per month for 12 months ($182*65*12=$141,960) [*Southwest pays by trip I know, but for the sake of an example bare with me].
Who made more money based on hours flown - Pilot A or pilot B?
Yank McCobb said:Neither of your "examples" is realistic.
ironwedge said:That chart shows an hourly rate comparison, I'm not sure why anyone would read a monthly guarantee into it.
ironwedge said:Maybe not, but do you disagree with the logic?
Yank McCobb said:I don't disagree that the hourly rate posted at Kitty Hawk is higher than anyone but SWA. However, I cannot agree to your "logic" because there is none. Pay is pay.
ironwedge said:That said, ask a 12 year Capt. at Bigsky (making $42/hr) if he thinks Hourly Rate influences potential W2 earnings.
