I'm late to the whole pay raise discussion. Finished ground recently. Couple of the instructors over the weeks seemed to think the company will have to raise pay to stay competitive soon. Hopefully they're proactive about it rather than reactive. Their still seems to be about 60 a month in class.

Looking at interviewing soon, and hopefully getting a class date in jan when I reach 1500. Quick question.
If I live in Sacramento,CA what is the best airframe and base to choose for QOL purposes (assuming I don't move to base) ?
Drive to FAT or SFO or Commute to LAX?
Is there more money to be made for motivated FOs on the ERJ or CRJ come 2017?

There's more money to be made on the CRJ because the plane is more junior so you hold a line quicker, and it's more understaffed so there's more open time to pick up. The E175 has less crews so there is less open time, and it's more senior so you sit reserve longer and are less able to fill up your schedule.
SFO is one of the bases where E175 pilots get Delta benefits so there is no difference in flight benefits between the CRJ and E175 for SFO based crews.

Harder to tell now that they do 2-3 class a month vs the ine big ine they use to do. But it still seems 60-70 a month CRJ. Then 20-30 a month ERJ. Hard to pin the ERJ numbers down because its all done in Denver.. plus the holidays are coming up and i knkw they slow training down around them.

Semi-Monthly paycheck for just the PPO health for a family is $233.90 per paycheck... If you're going to get an insurance for a family it's smarter to do this since kids tend to break things and do stupid stuff or if someone in the family has a reoccurring medical issue. $1000 deductible.

Speaking of Health Cover, What would it cost for a couple wanting to have a baby? What ballpark figure would it cost to then deliver the baby?
In the bases, I'm looking to choose a CRJ base where I can stay at with lots of hours, short time to holding a line and quick upgrade/where I'd be based after upgrade. If there is a mix of 2/7/900 would be good too. Any Ideas? Just did the OO CTP Course and Starting Ground 11/7. I was thinking MSP but seems a long wait after IOE now?
Thank you

As far as having the baby it depends on the insurance you have. My last I had the chdp and I spent about $3500 including the deductible, but it varies a lot depending on location and type of delivery. On the website they have a health care cost estimator that works really well that will put you in the ball park.
