In your example, copied here you use 105 Trips as your example:

"Ask an SWA pilot what they earn for 12 days of work? Spoiler alert, about 105 hrs of pay"So dividing 105 tfp by 1.13 you get about 92 hours of pay.

The whole TFP issue is very confusing depending on which conversion you are doing but one thing is absolutely clear - We at DAL domestically can get no where near 92 hours in 12 days.

Thanks for that explanation Scoop. He gets paid about 105 hrs for his 12 days of work. Former Air Tran commutes to HOU.
