26M Airline pilot Spirit Airline FO 226k(First Officer)

[u/AirlineKing98]

End to year date would gross 196,000$. Add 16% Direct contribution(non match) to 401k. 31,260k to 401k 227,000$ aprox earnings for 2024. Feel really lucky considering my age and where I’m at. Spirit airline is currently in bankruptcy so we will see where that leads. End of year, still feel broke considering I’m paying my 100k debt 💸 and some bad decisions that’s I made as a younging. Other than that my life here is prob the best it’s ever been. I could control my schedule and move stuff around as long as the staffing is right. I have around 11 -17 days off a month. When I work it’s usually 3-5 hours direct to a destination and layover.

Additionally, it may seem good from the outside but moral at my company is at an all time low and chapter 7 is a possibility. Aviation is the most unstable profession out there. Cheers!!
