No idea. I would have to do the math manually, because the company stopped publishing that number with the new CBA because we got rid of the line value index (complicated concept related to construction of build-up lines). Line values did drop significantly beginning this year with the loss of our flying to the SWA side of the partition, so line values definitely aren't what they used to be. I would guess the average on the 717 this month is in the 82-85 hour range.
If that has gone down, what would your best guess be of average line credit have been pre-acquisition?
Closer to high-80s.
That seems like it would be an accurate estimate of the average take home pay.
Not really. How many pilots do you know who only fly their original line? I don't know too many. Even I don't do that, and I'm pretty damned lazy.
