30-50 that does not seem a lot, especially when it comes down to your paycheck. You guys are G61 hrs, so does that mean 3rd yr FO 77x61=4697 or so, does that seem right? Because as a 3rd yr FO you are not very senior so you probably barely will get in more then 61hrs.
You mentioned that you guys make more then many 747 pilots, did you mean per hour, or just plain salary. Looking at Polar, a 4th yr CA makes 115/hr and a 4yr CA at ATI is 126/hr, but if you are only flying 61 hrs at ATI, and around 73hr at Polar, it comes out to more money on the Polar side.
I hope I am making sense, and not confusing you.
