My $14,367.81 Paycheck
Let me start by saying this is not going to be my paycheck for every month to come because there were a lot of special circumstances pertaining to it. As most of you know I just upgraded to captain on the CRJ at Skywest. Well After I took my type rating on June 28th I start receiving Captain pay. I can't work as a full-fledged captain until I complete 35-50 hours of initial operating experience (IOE) with a check airman. With all the new hires and upgrades the IOE instructors were backed up. It currently is about a month behind. I could have sat at home and had a month off and got paid my 75 hours of monthly guarantee or picked up trips as an FO at time and a half captain pay on top of my minimum monthly guarantee. Well, I decided to pick up trips as a FO and get paid more than my captain and flight attendant combined. I got paid my 75 hours of minimum guarantee at $60 an hour and everything I picked up was at $90 an hour. So one way of looking at it is I was paid $150 an hour for the first 75 hours and $90 after that. I was able to pick up a total of 94.5 hours of trips. I'll include a copy of my schedule below. I had a total of 14 days off and made $14,367.81 for 94.5 hours of work. Not too bad huh? When I started at Skywest 2 years ago I was in training 5 days a week during this same month and made zero. I wasn't paid while in training at Skywest. I can't complain too much because in two year I went from making zero to over 14 thousand. I also included my $602 bonus in this total. Now that I've been at Skywest over two years I also get a profit sharing bonus each quarter which is based on how much I made that quarter. My IOE started Aug 2nd so no more gravy train for me. It was fun while it lasted.
