Need help with Etihad
Hello All
I am thinking about joining EY as a First Officer, but before I waste mine or their time I wanted to get some feed back from guys who are already working at EY.
I fly as First Officer on A320 for operator in U.S.A. I am around 1200 out of 2100 pilots . The upgrade is 5 or 6 years from now as we have slowed our growth. I been here for 4 years now. I get about 14 days OFF a month and somtimes I overnight at home so I am home around 16 to 17 days a month. As far as pay goes. I credit around 90 to 95 hours a month and block around 80 to 84 hours. My rate for the first 78 hours of credit is at $91.00 per hour...
91x78=$7098.00 USD anything above 78 hour is paid at 150% $136.50. So for 90 hours credit a month my pay is around $8736.00USD. They also pay us $13.00 USD hour for flying redeyes and that comes to around $300.00 to $400.00 a month and another $600.00 a month in perdiem. So all in all I make about $9636.00 a month and take out about $2500.00 in tax so I bring home around 7k a month. We have 401k we put 5% than company match the 5% and they give us another 5% in form of profitsharing regardless if company profits or not...So far they have..thank god. I have over 8000 hours total time Typed on A320/EMB-190/and CRJ-200. I have about 760 hours PIC on A320 and over 2000 as FO, and been instructor/Check Airman on all 3 types. Also I am 38 years old married with 1 child. Would it be good idea to come to EY as a A320 FO....would I make the same pay....I was told EY FO make more . How long would it take to move to different fleet as I really dont want to fly A320 for rest of my life if I dont have too. Thanks a million in any feed back, and fly safe.
