That's completely true. I guess I misunderstood what you were implying. Yeah this month I flew a lot and ended up making almost double what I made last month just because of per diem. It's great when I get it but you're right that someone shouldn't factor it into a budget. For all I know in September I might be back to 9 hours of TAFB like I had in June.
It's kind of strange that I don't have a line yet on the Brasilia. I guess it was just bad luck. They didn't run any RJ transition classes for a while after I was hired so my seniority didn't move for a few months. Depending on what happens with the SFO transfers I 'might' have a line in October and hopefully November for sure unless something crazy happens.
