sorry for the blue box... it doesn't highlight anything
I don't know about y'all, but I'm crediting a lot more than 1000 hours per year, and I am not working more. Add in some contract items where it adds hours like training/vaca/CBT and 5:15 ADG hasn't kicked in yet, and now the number gets bigger outside of the rate.
Here's some more reality for you, Shiz. Let's take the 767 Captain rate as an example:
In 2004, the rate was $267.52. At 1000 hours, that's $267,520... IN 2004. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $335,928 today.
Now compare with what you're suggesting above. That still puts us at a HUGE pay cut in buying power compared to where we started. Again, it seems that restoration is NOT your objective. I'm sure that makes you sound really good inside the DALPA echo chamber.
