9 year SWA Capt. 12-14 days of work per month- picked up a few days along the way, opted for "max pay" for training events (train on days off) , and $9700 cash for options exercised- line 1 = $227,580. From this you would have to subtract $15,500 for 410(k). BTW, total 410(k) contribution for the year would be $31,000. Profit sharing is about $18,000 (7.9%) and that goes into a qualified retirement plan (same as 401(k)) basically. There's a few ARISA limits that I can't remember right now but somewhere around $49K should go towards retirement. (something tells me that that amount probably exceeds the previously mentioned ARISA limit) With age 65 becoming a reality, only 28 years to go- whew!
 
29.88 x 76 x 12 =27,250 cal 777 reserve fo approx 30 hour a month flying.. profit sharing 2,152 gota luv the legacy carriers. screwing its pilots. just think stagnatin for another 5 five years because of the old farts staying. 200 of 250 are staying so they can continue to screw us again 83-85 hires what a bunch of pricks

I doubled that at JB, WOW! And to think I did it on year 2 (10 months) and year 3 (2 months) pay.

tentative numbers pending W-2 ...

block time: 650
healthcare cost for 2007: $3768 (premiums) $800 (family deductible) $500 (dental bill)

Won't count per diem because I pi$$ed that away on my layovers and traveling.

My 12 month average block time: 54 hrs

That is because you are in DC your housing rate would be a lot different it you were based in lets say....north dakota.... So you
would be making a lot less than 140,500....
 
I agree that 2500 a month is not a common BHA (basic allowance for quarters to the uninitiated). When I got out mine was 1000 a month. So you (C-40 dude) are making 18k more a year based on a high BAH rate.

For the record it took me until year 3 pay at WN to make what my contemporaries (on the 25K a year bonus) made.

As an aside the 25K a year bonus does not last forever, at least in the Navy. It actually goes down once they know they got you for 20.
 
B6 320 CA 4th year ~ $132,000

7 months reserve, 5 months as a line holder

**includes 33 hours pay at double time due to our ice-storm f#ckup** so unless we repeat our mistakes this winter, I doubt I'll earn as much in '08.
 
We need two threads. One for the pay figures and a second thread for those who want to complain about the first.

ABX DC9 F/O. 11th/12th year.
160 block hours, one month of reserve (by choice).
126 days away from home.
$112,100

Includes per diem and 401k match. Does not include the pension contribution and the profit sharing (which is a vested portion of the pension) I avoid overtime at all costs.
 
I agree. Posting this type of information isn't a bad thing. This isn't secret information (we're almost all under a contract that can be read by anybody) and it helps guys make informed decisions about the companies they would like to work for.

CAL 756FO in EWR

10 months on 2nd year pay and 2 on 3rd. A couple months I worked an extra day trip and other months I had 15-16 days off. Mostly 757 trips with a few 767s thrown in.

$88k including perdiem (about 5.5k), profit sharing (2.8k), and on time (700 bux)

About another $8k in the B-fund

Some services don't even have a bonus program. Go figure.

140K for an O4 is pretty good coin though, I am impressed (even with the high BAH).

(Former O4)
 
3 Year E190 CA

Factors
1. Lived in Base for 1/2 of the year.
2. Worked like a staving crack whore.
3. Was in between homes for 3 months of the time, thus, tried to pick up as much as I could to avoid the crashpad.
4. Used a LOT of sick time. (Pneumonia in Jan and Surgery on leg in Feb)
5. Was a captain the entire year and line holder.

My pay was NOT typical of the average 190CA...most were in the 80's-90's. My pay for 2008 will more than likely be in the 90's since I commute from TX now.

2007
JetBlue $110,471

Don't count the bonus -- you will be just that much more disappointed when you get an airline job.

Besides you sold your soul to the man to get it.
