For reference on the guaranteed interviews. I'm an April 07' DOH.

I was told by one of the union reps that based on retirements an estimated time for me to go over is May 2021. Just fyi..

Something to keep in mind is they probably didn't account for anyone leaving for other majors.

You're right. I guess 2019 is more accurate.

The $10,000 sign on bonus rumor got my attention, but turned out to be just that, a rumor.

Good thing the minature schnauzer killed that thread!
It's fine if that supposed $10K bribe got your attention as long as you understand taxes will claim about 40% of that as unearned income, thus becoming a $500/month stipend for your first year.

That's peanuts in the scheme of things.

Nope. 25% will be withheld off the top and then at the end of the year, your tax liability will determine if you get anything else back. On 1st year regional FO salary, your tax rate should be 15%. You need to consider Medicare, SS and that crap, too, so let's call it 18%. Of course, each situation is unique.

With this bonus, I'll bet virtually all the young kids can make more than $37K/year and will probably be in a 25% bracket. But hey, I'll concede and say they'll get an extra $125/month or so above my claim.

So now were up from peanuts to cashews.

37k on first year FO pay? It would be close, even with 10k.

33,400 on reserve guarantee with 10k added. You would need to fly an additional 12 hours per month over guarantee to break that threshold, so it is possible, but I don't know how likely it is. Either way, it is a pay increase (from guarantee) of 40%.

$625 a month is a significant number. That is a mortgage payment.

Probably longer than you, but I've been paroled. Thankfully, I don't have to bunk with cell mates like you anymore.

Don't drop the soap !
