Current Alliance F100/E190 figures are below. Seems negotiations are currently occurring to merge the two fleets into a single contract. F100 crews get RPT bonus on top E190 doesn’t at the moment.
FO Base: $128679
CA Base: $186491
FO Productivity: $210
CPT Productivity: $332
RPT BONUS ( paid each month if you do an RPT flight, always paid apparently)
FO: $578
CPT: $838
According to the crews I know there captains are getting flogged, expect to fly 80-90 hours a month (productivity starts at 55 hours). FOs either just fall short of 55 or just bust it but thee may be outliers. So realistically a Captain on either fleet will be grossing around the $250k mark as a line driver. No idea what pays are like for those in the training department
80-90 hours of regional jet flying is slavery given the short sector lengths in addition to minimum days off. This isn’t sustainable in the long term and it’s hardly surprising crew turnover is high. It makes low cost in an A320/B737 look like heaven in comparison.
