Edit: I’ll admit I don’t know Southwest’s pay per hour structure, but flying that much seems exhausting! My hat’s off to you guys!

Spirit 2/3 year FO
Lived in base
$151k gross including DC retirement and per diem
300 hours block
77 overnights (majority in South America)
22 paid working days doing "cultural appreciation" down in Colombia
I made some good memories, didn't have any unauthorized children, and never ended up in jail. So yeah, I'd say 2019 was a booming success.

Southwest FO
Year 2 (two months year 3)
Live in base
Gross Pay w/PD: $190,352
401K: $27,466
Total Comp: $217,818
Anticipate PS @ 10.5%: $19,226
Total Comp w/anticipated PS: $237,044
203 days on duty. Estimate 130-140 overnights. Approx 850 block hours. Try to play the game with low block turns and not get used on reserve when I can but otherwise just hustle. Reserve days not used are still counted as days on duty in that number.
When I was looking to go to a major posts like this helped me out a lot. Hope this helps the next guy/gal.

So your 830 hours was credit and not block hours (hours actually flown). I am confused as you are using intermixing language in this post vs. your last.... Credit = earned $ hour, block is hours FLOWN... You actually flew 830 hours this year??

I am not going to post my numbers but they track along with the other SWA FOs on this thread. I find this thread useful in many ways, and not just as a measuring contest. It helps when you see the norms and outliers at different companies to see what they can accomplish pay-wise and what they trade for QOL.
I wish us all a prosperous 2020.
