New Avantair FO Payscale

[CherryBomb]

Well since I get all my news from flightinfo, I may as well contribute this time.

All Avantair FO's got a much needed raise today.

Below is the new pay scale:

Year 1

$35,000.00​

Year 2

$37,000.00​

Year 3

$39,000.00​

Year 4

$41,000.00​

Year 5

$43,000.00​

Year 6

+ COLA​

Per diem remains the same at 2.00 dollars an hour. Upgrade bonus has been eliminated for people hired after 9-1-07. Upgrades still holding at about a year if the FO is "ready".

Thoughts??

So, if upgrade is one year and upgrade bonus is now gone, the pay is essentially the same? I guess it's nice for anyone who takes more than a year to upgrade though.

 

[CherryBomb]

Yeah, pretty much.

What was the upgrade bonus? Any idea why it was eliminated? Did the captain pay rates also get raised?

If I understand the system correctly the extra-day rate was based on 1.5 x a calculated daily rate. Is the overtime rate also increased or have I misunderstood.

the overtime rate will also increase.....it is calculated by salary/182(the number of days worked per year) X 1.5

so first year fo should get $288.46 per day for overtime

 

[Takeoffroll]

how does that compare to the first year FO salary at the other fractionals?

Works for me if the boat goes 400kts.

Can any of you Avantair folks give any insight into the 'Profit Sharing" mentioned in the APC listing?
