That comes out to be 78 hours credit a month for second year FO, and 77 hours credit a month for a 3rd year 900 captain. And no, that's not including the mickey mouse perdiem increase, or the 401k, which again is a joke. Still a paycut at min guarantee, what I want to know is, why are people saying we need to credit 83 hours to break even.
Because they were told the current rate was based on 83 hours a month. So they think it takes 83 hours every month to make the same amount when in reality it takes what you just said to credit the same amount.
