ASA June lines

[jstyle13]

We'll see what happens on the 21st-maybe it'll be good news.

Why is there a buzz around the "announcment" on the 21st? Am I missing something? Isn't it just some family day thing at A Tech where they are going to talk about our shortened name? Something else rumored to be going down?

 

[SLUF4]

yes. rumored anyway.

Yeah, anybody who shows up will be asked to repo an airplane over to the concourse.

...don't forget to place 9999 in the ACARS so you get paid.

While I like your picture obviously 777forever, I think you're too much of a company apologist. Do you enjoy being worked over all the time by scheduling being on reserve like you say you are? It wasn't always like this. We'll see what happens on the 21st-maybe it'll be good news.

I thoroughly enjoy looking at the check on the following 15th after being worked like a dog. The paycheck is drastically different when a reserve breaks guarantee. Life was great on the 700 with breaking guarantee every other month. In IAD it doesn't look like a reserve will break guarantee anytime soon, even in the summer. Thats why I laugh when people constantly say bring the furloughs back.

The difference between reserve and lineholder pay is so different its almost basically two different jobs. It definitely tells you something when a senior FO crediting 90hrs and 300TAFB takes home the same amount as a reserve capt.

pay isn't everything...it's a lot, but it's not everything. i'd like to have a good life away from the job myself

Do the math again. You are at least $1000 a month off. And if that is the case, I didn't see too many CA's on reserve tripping over each other to downgrade.

I can state for a FACT that you aren't touching reserve captain's pay as a first officer- take that from someone who has been in both seats under the same contract.

 

[gator_hater]

On the 700 you've got to credit 109 hours with 350+ TAFB to get to reserve capt pay. I've gotten close about half the time but you have to work hard and bid smart. Lately it has been more difficult.

That's why having a line is 100x's better. Set schedule, more days off, more pay, no ready reserve.

Pay isn't everything, but $2200 Take home on the 15th is alot better than $1100 take home. That's over $12,000 difference after a year. One reserve pilot making 37k with 11 days off a month and triple the gas costs of a lineholder FO making around 50K with 12-15 days off.

You are the buttplug of the seniority list there is no way you are making 50K. You'd have to credit 115hrs a month to make that much on your pay rate. Maybe once in a while, shut your piehole and listen to people who have been around a bit longer and know what's going on.

P&H, you have little to no reading comprehension skills whatsoever. I don't know where you went to school but you need to get your money back if you gathered that I said I was making 50k. Geez.......

You'll have to excuse me, I usually just roughly skim everything you write in order to avoid the bulk of the crap in your posts. Either way, my point still stands. Even your average lineholding FO can't make 50K except in extreme circumstances.

 

[gator_hater]

P&H

Not true, I made about 62k as a reserve 700 capt. This year I'll make about 57k. It ain't that hard, I admit I'm at work a little more than I want, but 50 seems like a breeze.

You're going to have to clue me in on the details of that one. The most senior 700FO earns 45/hr.

Let's say you consistently flew 110 hours a month. That comes to $59,400. Let's figure per-diem, I'll give you $300.00/mo, generous. Then yes, this scenario would be true. But few people credit 110/mo 12 months out of the year. NOT with the trips we have today. Can't speak for 5 years ago.

Tell me what I'm missing.. I'd love to make double what I make now.

6th year FO back in the right seat on the 700....

through 4/30 paycheck total gross $20,530 - works out to $61590 for the year

through 5/15 paycheck total gross $24,370 - roughly $64,900 for the year

Averaging 101.9 hrs of credit per month. I get roughly $425 per month in per diem. I have already had 2 training events and 1 vacation period this year. Usually have 13-14 days off per month.

$60,000- $65000 is definitely feasible.

I never dreamed of crediting that much consistently. That's not bad. If you're senior enough to be able to pick up trips it could work.

I do swap and trade quite a bit.....as long as I'm gonna be away from home I'd like the most credit I can get.
