FO Pay for JetBlue

[Mongolikecandy]

Can someone tell me how much a first year FO on the 190 can expect to make? I know there are a lot of variables when it comes to determining that, but I am just looking for a ballpark figure. Also for 2nd and 3rd year. Thanks-

You can expect $50,000 to $60,000 per year before taxes, insurance, etc. depending on how hard you want to work.

Says 190 and a320 pay the same first year.

Its actually more than UPS first year.

I have looked on those. I am wondering how much people are making when they go over 70 hours and how many hours people are averaging.

Hey Mongo,

I've been on the 320 RSV since Aug. and typically have been 'bringing home" about $3500 per month.

That is based on a 75 hour guarantee, 70 hours straight pay, 5 hours premium, or time and a half. I only fly 20-30 hours per month due to the fact that we are really fat on FO's in JFK and I bid weekend off.

If you live in base, it's possible to make more if you pick up RSA days. Basically a volunteer reserve assignment, pays time and a half above guarantee at 4:12/per day. Obviously you can do this if you don't live in base, but QOL will suffer.

Also if you chose to work RSV on the weekends you will fly alot more. I typically fly once every two weeks because of the way I bid, and I bid that way because I live in CT.

Hope this helps.

That's funny....Why didn't you compare year two pay at UPS with JetBlue?

Because he answered the question that was asked, first year FO pay.

What does UPS have to do with JetBlue first year pay? He didn't anser the question. I've worked at both companies -- there is no comparison.

Your right, first year at Jetblue is more

Nothing. Thanks for trying to hijack the thread. But back to the topic... I have an interview coming up, and, if offered the job, I am trying to figure out how much of a pay cut I will be taking and for how long. I am a captain at regional with a family to support. I know in the not-so-long run the move to JB would be beneficial. I am just trying to make sure I could swing it financially for the first year or two. Thanks for all the input.
