You also don’t start at 1yr captain pay when you upgrade.

If you’re a 7yr Fo upgrading to captain you get 7yr captain pay.

I know you didn’t ask that but hopefully this clears it up for someone.
Oh ok. Thanks. I figured it would keep going up. Do LCA get paid more?

I’m not an LCA at Ual but I was in a former life. It’s almost always an override added to your hourly rate when doing LCA stuff.

It’s $27 override as add pay for the legs acting as LCA.

Performing LCA duties on at least 1 leg of a trip triggers all legs on the trip to pay the override. Not sure if that is due to IT limitations at current but that is the way it is administered today.

I getting close to upgrade at my airline (low cost) and if that happens I'd be on year 5 Captain pay making close to 160K( not counting 401K) a year on reserve. How long would it take for a new hire on the narrow body to make more than 160K assuming that pilot doesn't live in base?

Overall, are you guys happy at United? What do you like the most about working for your current employer?

Thanks.

look at the hourly of the fleets. It goes up pretty quick and you always beat the “hourly times 1000” to figure out your yearly pay, unless you just drop down. Soft time seems to materialize for most here if they are looking for it.

Never mind the fact the larger equipment and fairly quick upgrade (knock on wood) we are currently experiencing.

And I’d assume at least some kind of pay raise in the hopefully not too distant future.





Throw in another 16% on top of that for retirement contribution.

Basically his formula is trying to capture premium pay, profit sharing and, to a lesser extent, per diem. Kinda makes sense I guess.
Or maybe the op’s simple question is meant to elicite responses from the cats he/she might pulling gear for over the next decade.

Typical apc response. 90% jaw flapping. 10% thoughtful attempts at being informative. Not representative of line pilots.

Zero.

There are multiple ways pilots can get paid extra, but there is not a straight premium/overtime after a certain number of hours.

The most common way to earn extra is to pick-up “premium” trips when advertised by crew scheduling. These trips, when offered, commonly pay 50% to 100% extra. The availability of these trips will vary by base, equipment, seat, and season. Oh, and phase of the moon.

Thanks ! How likely is for a junior pilot (737 SFO or EWR ) out of IOE and on reserve to pick up extra flying on days off?
