Just for kicks and grins, if you were a topped out captain:

31 days x 6.5 TFP (ADG) x $231.54 per TFP (12th year CA)

Your ball-park figure of lost income due to unpaid time away from family: $46,655

Mind you, none of those figures include your NEC contribution, profit sharing, or per diem.

Add that over the duration of your career, throw some compounding on there, and the numbers get pretty scary. Hope you like where you live and are OK being gone away from home as long as you are because when it's all said and done, over the course of your career, you'll be leaving 7 figures on the table.
