I made 54 g's my first full year. Reserve on 717 was 5 months. Build up another 5 months. Now I have fully commutable trips, just got rid of my pad last month. Ive been here a year and a half. 717 is still the jr airplane for new hires, I believe. Right now I take home about 1100 on the 25th and anywhere from 2000 - 2500 on the 10th (per diem and prev's months overtime is included). Healthcare is 160 per pay, dental another 10 or so. I give 10 % to my 401. I normally get between 85 and 92 hours for pay credit. Taxes and dues are another 500 or so beans. This is all without looking at a pay stub, but it's fairly accurate. Hope that helps

Are those numbers for first or second year pay? I have been at AirTran for five months and that is about what I make on first year pay. $1100ish on the 25th and just the other side of $2000 on the 10th. That is with about 85-87 hours of credit. I'm really hoping you are not talking about second year.

No he is talking about first year. Second year out of 88-90 is about $2750on the 10- 1350 on the 25.

I'm in my sixth month at FL in the 737 and have worked tirelessly to credit no more than guarantee. Therefore, I'll earn no more than 36,000 this year... plus about 600 bucks a month in per diem... and lots of days off.

However, if I was pimping the system as hard as I could I would make significantly more. I was in training for essentially two months, got an integration line for a month and a half, was on reserve for one month, and have held a line since. Beginning with the integration lines, I could have easily credited 115 hours each month, if I wanted to.

Currently, this scenario is only available on the 737. For some reason the movement on the 717 is still glacial, even with all the upgrades into the 737. Bid accordingly.

I would have to guess 717 reserve would typically pay alot more than 737 reserve since we are so short on the 717 FO side of the house due to attrition rate of 717 FO's. I think 737 reserve times will increase especially for guys hired this year as our last delivery in 2007 occurs and in July and deliveries don't start up again until January of 2008. I would expect between 90 and 100 hours credit per month on reserve since you basically start each month with 20 reserve days of work on your schedule and we are usually understaffed.
