This would give a better idea of not just compensation but also to QOL since it would take soft time into consideration.

Or nights away from home

The problem I see with that is that if you had a trip with one overnight, you actually worked on two days. Or if you only work day trips, then you had zero nights away from home. It’s mathematically absurd to divide anything by zero.

I think you're overthinking it. Individuals don't use accrual accounting unless they are running a fairly large business. Us regular folks pay income taxes based on which year we receive and/or lose our money. i.e cash accounting.

Let’s make a new thread called “no one has their final paystub yet” or “I think the survey should be done this way” and move all those types of responses there so this one can be primarily pilots responding to the survey.

While that’s the case at your airline, it’s not the case at United. My previous comment was about United.

The SWA guys are gonna be late to the party. They won’t get to brag about their paychecks until after the 20th. Can’t wait to hear the term “Hustle.”

Breeze, year 1 CA

1 month training pay, which was $2,500, 3 months of year 1 FO pay, 8 months CA pay, which changed/increased 3 times this year. 393 hours blocked

$213,500 gross (doesn’t count what I will earn Dec 16-31)
$8,181 employer 401k match

Excluding training for initial FO OE and upgrade, I stayed in 3 hotels. Every other night spent at home. Live in base, drive to work. Average 10 days of work per month

While I’m happy, regionals are paying the same amount now (although WAY more work for it). Crazy to think a few years ago I commuted halfway across the country to make 32k a year at my regional
