Listed below is the Pilot-in-Command Base Pay Schedule. Copilots will be paid a rate equal to 75% of the Pilot-in-Command Pay Schedule.

Following contract ratification all pilots were placed onto the Base Pay Schedule in the 2006 year column commensurate with their year of hire. Beginning in 2007, each pilot will move to the 2007 year column on January 1, 2007 to the row corresponding with their years of service. At the pilot's anniversary date with the Company, beginning in 2007, the pilot will move to the next row corresponding with their years of service. The anniversary date is defined as the date a pilot entered service with the Company as a Pilot-in-Command or Copilot.
