11 days/month x 12 months = 132 days - vacation - sick calls = 85 days?
and $200,000 / ($165/hr) = 1200+ hours.
Not saying it's not possible, but seems like it might have been a slight exaggeration. If it isn't, I guess I'm just jealous and need to bid EWR 777 as soon as I can 
What's also interesting to note is that 7590 can't hold 777 anywhere on the UAL side by nearly a 1000 numbers. That might make me a little angry if I was #7590, but that's just me, I'm human and can't always control my emotions

It's an exaggeration... a huge one... no one can have that QOL and pay on the 777 in EWR. Not possible. DO NOT BID IT.
