I still don't buy that a lot of W/B FO's are close to $260k without flying extra or a lot of carryover or are selling back vacation.
I never meant to start a dispute on how much guys are getting paid. That was not the intent of the post, however, I am on the 777 and I routinely fly with F/O's that make $260 or better. Last year I flew with a F/O that has averaged over $300k for the last 5 years and recently flew with a F/O that made $350k last year. Certainly working much harder than I care to but on the 777, with high RLG's and all of the overrides added in, $260K for a F/O is within reach.
