2012: How much did you fly?

about 700 block.

but more importantly only 37 nights away from home, mostly standups, followed by the occasional two and three day plus sim and recurrent. If I take out standups in 2013 I should have less than 12 nights away from home next year, with more like 800 block.

It helps people like me who aren't professional in the industry to see what pilots are making. This is why everyone thinks pilots make $200k+ a year because all the pilots making less just say "my pay sucks".

Only one person posted what they made ( as I recall from reading all the replies). Everyone else just osted the hours they flew. That may or may not have nothing to do with pay. There may be a minimum guarantee that, for example, pays 72 hours/month regardless of how many fewer hours were actually flown. And credit time may not equal hours flown. If one picks up a 24 hr trip at 200%, they fly 24 hours but get paid double. I' m sure others have other rules that add to pay (not per dime).

You just lost me. I was trying to say I appreciate the few who did post what they made and I did not find it tacky.

Ok, I only saw one post. Forgive me if there were 3 to 8. And I didn't say anything about being tacky. I was just trying to explain that hours posted doesn't necessarily translate to pay. Carry on.

That's cool; I just tend to raise an eyebrow at a couple of our posters here when they post pay numbers, as it's generally not meant as a "Help the membership" move.

(1) My pay sucks.
(2) It's also none of your effin' business.

(It sucks, I'm handling it, and gaining longevity as fast as is possible.)

My dad said the first time he watched an EMB 120 taxi by, he said "There goes our jobs, guys."

He was so right.

Meh. The "What does Brand Y Airlines pay?" topic has been done to death and a trivial invocation of a search engine gets you pay scales. I'm not usually one to say it, but on this front, caveat emptor.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what my minimum guarantee is in terms of dollars. A fairly basic knowledge of multiplication will suffice, and our pay rates aren't a secret either.
 
Yes, but no one actually gets paid minimum monthly guarantee. That's why knowing W2 wages makes a difference. Virtually every contract has some degree of soft time. Only knowing W2 incomes gives someone a real indication of what they can expect to earn.

Ironically, Brand X had a contract, and Brand Y does not have a contract.

Guess who has better soft time rules now, than at Brand X?
 
About 770 for 2012, which included all of December off for upgrade.

Well I wasn't forcing anyone, just saying I appreciate the few who did.

And If it isn't a secret of your pay scales why is it such a big deal to post them? Save me from doing math man..:)

653.2, all EMB-145 SIC. I broke my elbow and missed October and November. Well, I wouldn't say I missed it....
 
If you don't like reading about personal finances then skip over my post:

773 block with $64000 gross pay. I upgraded from RJ FO to Bro captain in April. 3 months were spent on training/reserve guarantees at 70/75 hours respectively.
