100K bumming? Were they ARTs also? I know ARTs whose reservist pay pushes them over 100K but there is no way a part time guy can make 100K straight bumming. Maybe if he's TDY constantly, gets per diem while in town cause he lives out of town, gets hotels or whatever. Otherwise, not sure how this is possible. My numbers are based on a guy doing it part time, with a part time attitude, flying once or twice a week maybe and going to the UTAs.
