naderbauer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 How much does everybody make on a yearly basis before taxes (T4) trying to get a feel to where I should stand let me know if you get flight pay or other bonuses. If you work field/base/pool 81$k year seems low? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 That is about as broad a question as you can get... Years working? Endorsements? In the city or in the sticks? Camp rotation or Mon-Fri? Contract or employee? Lights? Mediums? Heavies? West coast or east coast or northern? One machine to yourself or three? Crew chief of 3 other guys or just you? Too many variables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePer Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 81K seems a bit high even. Most guys with that kinda gig would be 70-75 I would bet. 70k and 10k in flight pay maybe? Sounds close I guess. Not gonna see much more than that without touring. It is a strange business that we are in though. If you do tours (and therefor work less hours usually) taking care of one or two machines you seem to get paid more than the guy who is at a base working every day of the year (my gig is almost the same as yours) and taking care of 3+ machines. "Your reward is being at home" they say. Yes... But not having any days off for most of Jun-Sep while you hear of the guys getting two weeks off a couple times a summer touring sounds good. Anyways I digress. 81k? 5 years in? Lights on a base? Sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zzzzzzzzzzz Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 We're knocking on 90k-100K most years (with 300-400 hrs OT being cashed out). 75% hangar work M-F. with occasional weekend work. 6-12 weeks away each year. Most employees are 10+ yrs experiance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePer Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Yup sounds about right Helikenny. 5 more years of experience and doing 6-12 weeks away each year and and 90-100 sounds reasonable. What do you mean by the 300-400 hrs OT? As in 300-400 hrs including the whole crew? 300 for one guy would be out of control for one year.

Zzzzzzzzzzz Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Correct. But it gives a range of salary, typically the government job is lower pay but has added benefits such as the overtime which is used to bolster the salary or taken in additional time off.
