How much airline pilots use to make.

[ivauir]

Pilot did make more in the past, but then they had to meet certain literacy requirements as well.

Apparently, anyone can make a mistake.

It's all good Ty, we forgive you. But pretty soon, the AVERAGE raise at AAI will be $70k/yr! You have to be happy about that. Plus 401k match, etc.

I did notice Ty's been kinda (a lot) giggly these past four months.

I'll agree with you that it will mean more pay for most AAI pilots, but I'll wait for the info to come out from the MC's as to what it will mean exactly.

Not sure I understand your point about the 401K match ... AAI pilots have a better ratio right now; a total of 11.5% contribution from the Company if the pilot even contributes just 1%. Granted, it's based on a lower pay structure, but it is a higher percentage (11.5% versus 9.5%). We'd all be better off if SWAPA could negotiate our retirement contribution for the combined list.

I'd love to see this chart adjusted for hard time pay and soft time pay. At one airline the pay in this chart could be based on 85 hours of in-the-seat flying. At another it could be based on 60 hours of flying and 25 hours due to rigs, overrides, incentives, etc.

A "pay per hour" benefit chart could tell a vastly different story.

SWA pays 9.3% of what you make into a 401k (16.5k) then the overage goes into other accounts. Plus profit sharing averaging 10% historically. So, 9.3% on the average of $175k plus another 10% is well in excess of $30k. I think that trumps 11.5%. But it doesn't hurt to ask for more.

I've been "Giggity", not giggly . . . .

Seriously, like most Pilots, I am too much of a pragmatist to get excited about something until it actually happens. Maybe when I see all those golden parachutes start popping open, I'll get all choked up like Boehner. :laugh:

I have heard, back in the day (mid to late 70's), for the major airline pilots the rule of thumb was average narrow body captain's monthly pay was about the price of a Chevy Impala. Monthly wide-body captain's pay bought you a new Cadillac De Ville.

Now we live in crashpads where a sighting of these vehicles means you're going to be murdered or offered some "rock' ........

In 1986, a UAL 767 CA made around $14,000./month. 24 years later, in 2010, about the same.

Of course, the money is worth exactly half what it was then.
