Either he was lying to me or PIs are getting a ton of credit hours every month.
This isnt' hard to compute: Read section 23 and you know exactly what a I/E makes. Its based on what he can hold F/O(not standard captains for this discussion) at 9 year widebody first officer cap. Then add 800-1300 per month depending on what your evaluator status is.
then there is a max of 3 overtime events. end of story. no rumor just facts.
The CQ cancellations are on one fleet primarily, the 737. Ask council 93 why this is happening. It has to do with a hangover where privilege determined who would be checked out to do events such as CQ. There are large numbers who have been left idle for up to two years. They aren't short. They are underutilized because an instructor has not been fully checked out in all events.
