Hi all,
As a mil guy considering a transition to the majors, I'm trying to getting a realistic idea on how to calculate my pay:
1. Are the "payscales" on airlinepilotcentral.com pretty accurate? (
United Airlines | AirlinePilotCentral.com). I'm assuming the scales show "gross" pay before taxes, right?
2. How often do you fly more than the minimum monthly guarantee (~70 hrs)? How many hrs do you fly/month on average?
3. Do you make additional money on top of the hourly wage? I understand there is per diem, but are there any other entitlements like Housing or Cost of Living Allowances you get paid in addition to the hourly wage? Is there a bonus for holiday flying?
4. How does "profit sharing" work? Is that like an additional yearly bonus in addition to the hourly wage based on the airline's success? How much extra $$ does profit sharing usually work out to?
Thanks all!
