Senior guys (FOs) I know at WN making over $170ish are usually working extra trips and gaming the system. At G4 at our current pay rates you only need to work a normal schedule (naturally that means 95 hours during the busy months) to make $170. Picking up a few extra trips or skipping vacation, or bidding VBD can push it over $170 quite easily.
