$149.33 / hour x 110 hours
= $16,426.30 / month x 12 months
= $197,115.60 / year
..... and that is pre-tax.
That's true if you're junior; you have to do allot of whoring and have no life to clear that amount of cash. On the other hand, senior FO's that live in base make 200k all day long with plenty of time at home; or, was the case when I was a Houston based FO and drove to and from work. I was clearing 90-100 hours a month and only spending 9 or so days away from the house.
With that being said, for 90% of the FO's on the seniority list, you are entirely correct.
