As far as the pay, I am pretty senior but that salary is based on $352/hour.
SFO-SIN pays 32 hrs plus 5 hrs of FAR117 extension pay. I do 2 of those and 1 other 3 or 4 day trip that pays around 25 for a total of 99 hours per month.
In the 6 vacation months, I only have to fly the 2 SIN trips.
They match 16% of our salary and put it in the retirement account (not taxed). Profit sharing is just under 8% this year and IS taxed.
You can make more money by dropping your awarded trips and picking up premium pay trips if they become available. They pay either 150, 175 or 200% depending on how desperate they are.
I’m doing my taxes now and in 2019 I made taxable income of 495k and will pay 121k federal tax. No state income tax in Nevada.
Thanks for clarifying. I still can’t get to your salary figure of $495k. Using your example months, I see an annual 1038hrs x $352 gives $365k.
I’m curious as I’ve been considering immigration (a close to impossible task) for some time now but wasn’t sure it would be worth the initial step backwards to regional jet and FO again. But I didn’t realise salaries in your range were achievable.
