Hey gang. Just curious if anyone would like to share their first year w-2 numbers from Skywest.

Also, what kind of premiums, if any, do they have for extra flying etc.

If you don't feel comfortable posting a solid number, on average, how many hours doyou log a month (jet or turbo)

Cheers
 
I don't remember exactly what my fiancee's W2 was but it was more than first year pay at UPS.
 
I made about 23K my first year.

Why do you people keep making these tacky posts about "W-2's" or "tell me your last paycheck." It is the most ridiculous, tacky, and unprofessional thing I've seen. There is a payscale at www.airlinepilotcentral.com, the payscales are there for anyones eyes, why do you feel the need to start a "My W-2 vs. Your W-2" thread? Because it turns into a "my airline is better than yours" bitchfest.

Get a life.
 
I was on reserve my first year at SKYW and probably pulled in about $13K. I remember it was less than what I made as a CFI. My paychecks were right around $400 (take-home).

The second year was MUCH better, especially as a line-holder.

Wow, I cant believe that a first year FO at UPS makes less then 13K a year.
 
19 bucks an hour at skyw is even less than Mesa!!!

My thoughts exactly. Thank You.

I think it is because that site only provides hourly rates, it doesn't provide any insight on 'soft time.'

So what---it is tacky and unprofessional to post on a forum what your W-2 says. Besides.... if you wanted to just make up some b.s. and throw it out there you can (i.e. I grossed $32k 1st year at Skywest---I don't even work at SkyW). Then you just create problems. That "my fiancee took home more than a UPS pilot on 1st year pay" is a good example. I don't know of many UPS pilots posting there W-2 information on flightinfo. In fact.... I just did a search and came up with nothing... so that guy is comparing his fiancee's pay without knowing the "soft time"

What's the point other than to cause a bunch of frustration and some arguments about Skywest sucks, Mesa sucks, Gojet Sucks, Expressjet Sucks, Air Wisconsin Sucks, Republic Sucks, Colgan Sucks, Big Sky Sucks, Freedom sucks, etc.

Well partner, it's because this is the only way to compare Apples to Apples. I've made comparisons with Skywest pilots and they make more at the end of the year. This is why it is important. A 3rd year FO at Skywest on the CRJ will have more money in the bank at the end of a year than a 5th year CR7 FO at ASA. Even though the ASA pilot's rate is higher. Management wants us to focus on the payrates. I personally don't care what the hourly rate is. I care what the end of year earnings are. I don't know about you, but I need to work in order to live, so this is my life.

I do care what the hourly rate is.
 
i think he's just trying to get a good financial picture of what to expect that first year. Is that tacky - unprofessional ? Payscales don't tell you anything. While were at it - anybody have a real W2 number from first year at Southwest ?
 
I made 23237.74 my 1st year. Made 49466.87 the 2nd year. That doesn't include the 500 I made off of the employee stock purchase program (espp) the 1st year or the 1800 I made in the espp in year 2. Also add in around a grand in year 2 for performance bonuses. Will be even more this year because of my eligibility for the profit sharing bonus.

Fly safe.

I would be happy to provide a W-2 figure for ASA, but as usual we don't have them yet.........

Incidentally, does anybody know what a W-1 is? Or a W-3 for that matter? There's a W-2 and a W-4, so obviously these other forms exist...... anyone???

Hey Einstein....first of all, I am not a "guy". My fiancee's take home (with per diem and higher than guarantee credit which I include in total pay) was around $900 every two weeks. My take home from UPS was $580 every two weeks. So please tell me, isn't $580 less than $900? In my book of math, it is. If you want me to post my W2 info, I will. I don't see what the big deal is with telling someone how much you make or asking someone for that matter. Who gives a $hit?

the w-3 is the employer's half of the w-2......the w-1 I have no idea about...
