A CA making reserve all year, and being downgraded by seniority on the -200 (smallest jet) had already cleared $60k.
I sent all of my "bribe money" to the 401K to avoid the "ALPA tax" and as such, no I have not yet cleared 60K (reserve or CDO lines all year, refuse open time pick ups and junior mans, so it's been 75 hours every month). Will I by the end of the year? Maybe but for sure it will be yet another year making less than the year before. 4 years and counting, with a downgrade for the holidays to assure a 5 year in a row.
