Speaking of which, can someone tell me if I'm safe to transfer that stuff to a 2" binder, or will they be giving us enough stuff to fill up that 4-incher?

You can use whatever binder you want. I used a 2" binder.

I think there are a few FO's that have worked out how to use the FBO provision. I would think they will easily show 45,000 plus on their W-2. They would fly about 75 hours and have an average credit time of 130 plus. KNOW YOUR CONTRACT.

You have to be either lucky or senior to get a check airman's line in order to get FBO'd. I did it but had mixed results as a IAH FO, seniority 100-200. All hubs have check airmen lines you can bid for. The only thing you have to remember is that when training slows down, the FBO opportunities will also. My highest credit time was 149 hours.

FWIW...

40 g's I think not..I'm sitting here 5th year f/o and my last pay stub (08/16/05) just had a gross of 29,067.52. That is flying my ass off 90+ every month with 15 days off. Sometimes I drop it down to 13 and hit 100. ok so I do 13 percent in 401k. That would bump it down a bit..
But don't go including profit sharing that you haven't even seen yet..(That should have been given out quarterly..Thanks union)

So I wouldn't spout Xjet as the "sheiit" rj trucking company how you can bank as an f/o..b/c that it ain't...A semi-okay place to hang your hat for some years yes..But you ain't going to get rich working here..Thats for sure

40K net and 40K gross are two big differences....

But I'm not going to be happy till I win the lottery..

5th year FO!!! dammmmm
