Exactly! Take out PTO sellback, proft sharing, and per diem and you'll get the real numbers and you will see how far off we are from our peers.

I also never understood why people include per diem in their total compensation? Per diem is to cover expenses when traveling for work, unless you live off of blue chips to save every penny of your $2/hr lunch money.

I love when people brag about how much money they make here, but then you find out they are VDA/RSA *****s and PTO sellback people. They don't realize they have to do all of this crap to make up for our sh!tty pay and work rules while giving up their QOL. I still believe this pilot group is doomed and we won't see a solid CBA for several more years.
