W2's 2007

[firstthird]

At straight pay 6th year FO per trip is just under $120 I believe - you get no overrides and not that often any overage. So for 160K/$120 an hour/12 months = 111 trips per month. You say you had 17 days off a month so that's 13.5 working per month = about 8.5 trips per day. Seems very high - am I wrong? Just had dinner with a good friend - 9th year SW CA who said 7 trips per day is VERY GOOD and much higher than that is pretty tough. All the other numbers people post here I believe it just seems like the SW numbers never seem to add up and I only read about these numbers here - talk to anyone in person and they never seem to quite make that much (at least out of my 8-9 SW friends).

I think that your math is not accounting for vacations and a 9 year captain is pretty junior on the captain side, so maybe 7 trips per day seems normal to him but since our rig is 6.5 per day, he isn't flying very productive stuff. I'd guess that 7.5 per day is pretty doable with decent seniority.

Also not sure where SWA guys are getting their W-2 numbers yet, the website still just shows 2005 and 2006 for me.

not quite a 4th year FO.

Regular + JA + Sick + training + vacation = $115,000

I averaged 102 trips per month (inclusive of vacation/sick/training/JA).

Wouldn't it be on Your (our) Dec. 20th paystub?

would that be the FIT wages? if so, I'm dumber than I look, which is probably pretty dumb. for FIT wages I had 99,000. Which doesn't really make sense to me, are JA/vacation/training/sick pay not taxed?

I guess I wasn't going to call it W2 wages until I see my W2, but if FIT is federal income tax, then I guess my W2 should say 99,000.

Always wonder how these figures are compiled - is this straight pay or + per diem and + profit sharing?

The missing factor in your calculations is the rock-star seniority that 5-6 yr FOs enjoy here. Allows them to manipulate their schedules to have the best shot at trips that pay time-and-a-half.

7.0 Trips per day is what I consider on the poor end of a good average pay per day. When I try to pick up I am looking for 8.0 TFP per day. I don't VJA much (commuter) so I don't take advantage of the time and a half as much as some.

Dude - the 9 year CA was an 7 year FO two years ago - don't you think he has a pretty good idea what a senior FO can do?
