Small cabin.
They’ll be on the 72LT or 76LT.
I’m happy for them and their families.
Large Cabin will get in striking distance of small cabin PIC pay with the OT, longevity bonus and 40k payscales.
You are happy for their families. The families that see their father/husband/whatever slightly over 40% of the year because they have to be on a schedule with 228 days away from home per year to make a living where their airline counterparts work less and make more. And 200K as a small cabin SIC? Please.....
And anyone counting on the "estimate" can be brought to reality by trying to pay bills with the promise of "soft money". Go ahead, try to tell AMEX or your home lender that you'll give them an IOU on soft money that MAY or MAY NOT occur. We hillbillies call that "counting your chickens before they hatch". Its as silly as counting per diem as hard income.
