Perf Reward Financial 594

In order to arrive at that $43k number you've had to work a significant amount of overtime (I usually work none, and most pilots work very little), you've worked holidays, you've been on reserve, and you've included mil pay and per diem. How much does a guy that flies a normal line with holidays off make (and don't include per diem, that's not income)? There's a PCL Captain on this board that posted last year that he made $95k on 5th year pay. Is that typical? Of course not. I'm on 5th year CA pay this year and I'm only going to make about $65k because I don't work overtime. Finding the one rare guy that whores himself out for extra money isn't an accurate determination of who makes the most. (for the record, ALPA's E & FA dept has figured that the XJT pilots are the highest paid pilots in the 50-seat business)
 
SkyWest pays 4.3 hours for holdays. If you work the holday the 4.3 is on top of whatever you made that day. If you didn't work you get the 4.3 only. I worked holidays the first half of the year but I can hold them off now.

I said $58K is possible not every FO makes $58K. The other thread was filled with people doubting that it is even possible.
 
Mr. Bowl movement pilot......
Please remove your head from your arse! I'm quoting YOUR company payrates.....As stated in a previous post!

Hey not to give you crap about spelling but I just can't help it....

It's BOWEL movement.

For the record, I do include per diem in my income. I probably shouldn't but I do.
