My effective hourly rate in 14 was 253 an hour at straight rates and 506 an hour on overtime counting PS. Yes my W2's have doubled.
I am on the same equipment and seat I was on in 2001. I was on same seat and equipment in 2004. I am on the very same seat and equipment in 2015. I remember my rate being around $237 an hour. Today, I am getting $216 an hour.
I don't fly high time. I fly the guarantee. I did this in 2001, 2004 and today. My w-2 isn't any better than 2004.
Oh, and while we are at it, I'm stagnated in my position due to failure to grow at the top end.
