Looking at the flashing TSA ad above, those numbers 35.81 / 62.84 should be for a 35 hr work week, not 75 a month. And that..... is why there is a looming pilot shortage.
I hear ya...and I know what this is gonna be like. I was at TSA years ago, and this will be my fourth stint in the regionals...having had two airlines shut down on my in between now and then. I have a thing I do at night before I go to sleep. I just repeat "I love my job" 20 times and hit myself in the forehead with an open palm.
Good luck!
