Answer to the TRI question. There are currently 16 TRIs/Es working like crazy.

Ax - well your statement is really hard to answer. You will fly 900 a year but the combination is up to you. Obviously, the more you fly in 1 month will give you a greater annual salary than stretching it out over 12 months. The progressive monthly salary so dictates. But here is a little you can use.

A new F/O will make 26,200 a month basic (less than a 1,000 hours in type.) Assuming 75 hours a month credited block time you make another 3,500 plus perdiem. At ABY you will not spend this since all is out and back and you can figure 100 hours = 1,000. So a 75 hour month will give you 30,700.

Now you have to determine how that 75 hours actually is gained. It could be as high as 70 hours actual block or as little as 50 hours block (night.) So while the credit is 75 the actual block will be determined on what you fly.

If you fly more per month then it will obviously be more. Let's say you take 45 consecutive days annual leave and you fly the max the rest of the year. You will have 900 hours in 10.5 months. Assuming this is spread this evenly over 10 months (also a limiting factor) you will 90 hours a month block. If you mix this 40% night and 60% day the numbers come out like this.

36 hours night = 54 credit
54 day = 57.8 credit

111.8 pay for 90 hours block

progressive pay is
500 for first 25 credit hours
1,000 for 2nd 25 credit hours
2,000 for 3rd 25 credit hours
5888 for last 36.8 credit hours

Total 9388 AED + PD 1,100

Total 10,488 + basic = 26,200

36,688 (apx $10,000 US) for 10 months.
Remaining months will be basic at 26,200 for annual total of 419,280

The combos can be higher or lower depending on how you fly. A quick example is fly the same 900 hours in 9 months (100 block per month.) Use the same mix 40/60%

40% = 40 hours = 60 credit hours
60% = 60 hours = 64.2 credit hours

124.2 hours
500 = 1st 25
1,000 = 2nd 25
2,000 = 3rd 25
7,872 = 49.2 hours

Total = 12,472 + 1,300 PD = 13,772 or 39,972 for 9 months for annual total of 438,348 AED

You can see how the differential can work. The combinations are endless and as I said before up to the pilot.

Hope this helps.

Burners and Out!
