I did $210,000 if you include pay, profit sharing, and 401k contribution with part of my year on 2nd year pay and part of my year on 3rd year pay as a 717 FO. It's really not that hard. I didn't feel like I worked that hard. I bid reserve. Sometimes I bid the first parts of the month off to maximize GS opportunities. Most of the time, I bid weekends off and only flew GS if I felt like it. This is a really good job. I'm making more money than I have ever made, working less than I have ever worked, and I like my job.
