W2's

[lumax]

Tico,

Check your last paystub because my shows a VERY GENEROUS $600 for profit sharing and a HUGE $2400 company contribution to my 401 k.

Whataburger -

Im very curious what your w2 says.

Wow, at a whole 70 bucks an hour?

So you managed 1,800 credit hours in 2006? How many days off did you have?

I flew there for 4 years and was an RJ captain when I quit, making 61 an hour. And I wasn't going to break 65,000...

[Way2Broke]

Wow, I didn't even make enough to legally have to receive a W2. But then again, I'm Way2Broke. Seriously, pretty tasteless and I'd say even rude thread.

Almost cracked 60,000 (3rd year selling copiers!!)

Seriously, pretty tasteless and I'd say even rude thread.

WTF is so tasteless and rude about it? We're volunteering the information, genuine curiosity is being satisfied, and we're not discussing sweaty taint.

Part of the reason I posted my W2 is because I wanted to show how bad it really is at one of the "best paid" legacy carriers where I've yet to make what the "average" pilot makes according to CNN or any other dou(hebag media outlet. You'll notice that I didn't pad my numbers with stock or "retirement" contributions. I did this because I can't spend that money, and the likelihood that I'm going to actually receive my A-fund is slim, so why try to impress everyone with inflated numbers?

I wouldn't discuss my pay with the guy who works at the carwash, but I don't see anything "rude or tasteless" about discussing it ANONYMOUSLY on a message board with mostly other pilots. Even if a non-pilot sees what I make, I don't give a rip because it's about time the myth of the "overpaid and underworked" pilot gets exposed. Egos aside, I don't have a problem with the thread.

Its like walking up to one of your fellow pilots at work and asking how much they made last year. Its not a big deal. You pretty much know what they made because we all know the payscale. We just want to see how these contractual payscales add up in the real world. With the current payscales these days its pretty much like seeing whos socks smell worst after the 12k run. Bring it on, its too cold outside to do anything else!

We just as well shut this thread down now, because nobody is going to top this one! Funny, sad but funny.

 

[Bavarian Chef]

Is this a regional W-2 thread? Can anyone show me to the major W-2 thread?

 

[Whataburger]

I would guess that most SWA FO's avg. 110 TFP/month. First year pay is $45/Trip. Second year is $77/Trip.
Perdiem is $2.10/hr. Avg 250 hours gone per month.
401k is 8%
Profit Sharing 7.5%

 

[conman]

I always enjoy reading this thread. What blows me away is the Fed Ex and UPS numbers. They get some serious coin for not flying. Would like to see some ABX numbers.
Here's mine hired at SWA in 01 (six year pay) $125.9K 862 hours.

When it comes to a W2 thread it should be for all of us not a Majors vs Regional etc......It is the only way to truly cut through all of the BS that flows from the news , from management, and it corrects airlinepilotcentral as well...so keep them coming... just remember to explain how you got your number ie hours flown, checkairman, avg line, stocks and profit sharing and to the guys who think it is tasteless or immature.....SHUT UP and stop being part of the problem

 

[Purpled]

the guys who think it is tasteless or immature.....

Do you mean those of us will some class?

 

[StopNTSing]

$149,732; 7th yr SWA CA; Upgraded last summer into a hideous commute, so I've been trying to give away everything I can!

Purpled, if you think this thread is tasteless and has no class, then stop contributing to it!

 

[Jim Smyth]

I don't find this tasteless at all either. If you ask any Pilot what he makes over a few beers in the pub theres no problem discussing it plus we all know what the pay rate per hour is anyway. Its nice to cut through all the BS of all the different airline contracts and see a real number for the year. Plus if guys are trying to make a decision on what airlines to try to get hired on at, its nice to know up front what the payoff/work rules may be.

I have 15 years with SWA and I just fly my 3 on 4 off line all year and don't pick up any extra flying. I maximize my vacation time ( currently 4 weeks) and loose some money with trip pull for overlap but at this point of time in my life, time off is as important as money. I am topped out at 12 year Captain pay rate which is $173.63 dollars per trip. Theres a formula for what a trip is but to make it a short story here its a little under 1 hours time flying. We have great rigs and never loose any money for weather reroutes, mechanicals etc. You always get the higher of, pay wise with full trip pay for all deadheads.

I flew 780 block hours for 2006. Gross pay for year was $200,2XX dollars. I put $15,000 in my 401K, $12,500 in my top hat and got $15,800 in my profit sharing account. I am probably a little on the low end of the 12 year Captains as far as year end pay. I have flown with some FO's that have conveyed stories of some of our Captains that work all the angles and fly 6 days a week and make $350,000+ per year. But with that being said you won't have a life!

 

[CE750Driver]

8-9 Year NJA Captain/IOE

$141,620 plus 6500 in per diem and 7500 match on the 401K.

Might as well make it Major, Regional, and Fractional.

Perhaps I was hoping for some dignity and class to keep from people attacking us for what we make. We earn every penny, whether it's 20k or 200k per year. But bragging on a public website about how much we do make puts a bullseye on us.

This is not chatting with your buddies over a beer. This is posting how much you make for how little you work on a public forum...in a boastful and (sometimes) in your face manner. I was hoping to encourage folks to be above that...guess not.

Let me guess. During your first 5 years at TWA, how many times were you asked, "why are you are you still there?", and how many times did you smugly respond, "well, look at the retirements, I'm going to be real senior, real fast".

I heard it more than a few times. Sorry, some of you were like dogs chasing cars.

Purpled....no one is bragging....in the civilian world it is important to talk amongst each other so that we can de-bunk all the garbage that spews from the mouths of the non-fliers.....Where did you ever imagine that anyone was bragging.....For the guys on the top of the heap such as yourself it gives those of us trying to get there important information to negotiate with thats all...So what were your W2's
