I'll lay it out for you in real simple easy to understand terms.
The Article claims a
FIVE YEAR UAL F/O is making $130.641. I'm a 16 year F/O stuck on reserve almost never able to break guarantee. So that means that the article is using fuzzy math to come up with inflated numbers. So while it is
possible that a guy
could be making that if he was a line holding 5 year widebody F/O the reality is that the vast majority
if any of us aren't.
Barely cracking? That's 3 (6 weeks) of my guarantee paychecks over $100,000.
Yes that is barely cracking 100K, basic math would indicate such. Sounds like you settled for a lousy bottom feeder of a job, I hope things work out for you in the future.
If you can't make it on that at guarantee, you are doing something wrong.
Where in the world did you see anywhere that I said I wasn't "making it" on my current wages? I only inferred that the article was full of sunshine and baloney. Never ONCE did I mention anywhere or infer that I wasn't "making it" and I don't appreciate your juxtaposition of that little ditty when it comes to my post. A little reading comprehension might be in order before you go spouting off like that in the future.
