BTW, we have FO's making over $300K flying greenslips. Granted they have no life, but they choose this. And they still probably fly less block/month than a pilot flying 95+hrs/month at one of the ME3. And when they get tired of it they go back to flying a normal schedule. Granted, they don't have a free limo ride to the airport, they don't have gorgeous young FA's waiting to ruin their marriage, and they don't live in that 120F paradise over there, and their wives aren't medicated to make due in "the compound." But they'll survive.
So your "friend" at DAL chose not to ever make more than $250K, for whatever reason.
I could care less about Comair, it was a sh!tty company to begin with..As far as flying 95 hours a month at Qatar, I laugh at that..We are not Emirates..I fly about 60-70 hours a month and average 15 days off in base ever since I have been working here..120 degrees? It's not hotter here than it is in Arizona..Most wives here are very happy since they actually have a social life with other spouses in Qatar..Their kids love it as well...Its not for everyone, it's for people who enjoy the international lifestyle, multi cultural folks who are not narrow minded..
