I would honestly be astounded if you pulled 100-110 hours of credit AVERAGE over 12 months. I've never met anyone, in 20+ years, pull over 100 average for a year. If you pulled 85 hours of actual flying per month, you would time out.
My guess is that you did this a few times, are overstating your pay, and desperately want to sucker new hires into your ponzi scheme for self fulfillment. Either way, honest or not, 12-13 days off per month S U C K S! Especially for a senior FO on our Cadillac fleet. I guess its better than the 5 year FOs here on the EMJ in DFW that I fly with. They get 11-12 days off per month with 70 hour lines and virtually no chance to do better. If it is a matter of perspective between that, you are right, you are a pimp.
May suck for you, but maybe not for others. I'm not at Envoy, but I made close to $70k as a 5 year FO at another regional, and should break close to $70k again or just over it this year.
