Yea . . . at $39 an hour and a buck perdiem.
The F/O rates have gone up $2 an hour. Captain rates have increased by $5 an hour.
An F/O should make about $35K the first year and make Captain in 1 - 1.5 years.
We are still fighting for increases and better work rules. We have made some good progress, but still have a ways to go.
I am in my 3rd year and make $80 an hour. So all you regional types that used to say, "80 for 80", I still think of you with great disdain. Now I are that guy!!!
I used to work for a couple a "majors". I never made $35K the first year or had the chance to upgrade the first year.
I am 42 years old and should be flying the same equipment with red paint on it for a nice six-figure salary, but I'm not.
It is what it is. You don't have to apply. On the up side, we don't have problems with the regional feed, flow throughs, flush-backs, whip sawing the flying to a contract carrier, etc.
I am paying the bills and always keeping my options open.
Best of luck to all,
Jeff
