I also hear some insane numbers on occasion from fellow line swine. I'll pick up extra days on occasion but I'm not going to try to kill myself in order to try grossing >$300K (including PS) in a year.
If he was commuting from IAH, then he was getting TDY pay, which was temporary. I think it came out to roughly an extra $3000 a month, non-taxable due to it being "per diem". That pay last year was an anomaly, thus he won't be getting that kind of money this year.
