That being said your original comment was pompous and immature. There are things called deductions that effect take home pay. Comparing take home pay is grossly misleading. You took home +30% more than I did on a mid month check when I was on a higher pay bracket. I’m really just curious how much you credit and how much OT you pick up.
You got one right about no wife, kids or life outside of work. Just one of those.
I'm also older than you are.
You got the numbers you asked for. The fact that you choose to deduct more from your paycheck is a personal choice. No state income tax in TX helps too.
To me - this is the time to work my ass off. Any 175 FO can do what I'm doing - at least for now. I've posted so many comments about the fact that my posts are only valid for 175 FO's I think they are going out of fashion, or something. The latest 175 NH's will likely have a different experience with the displacements coming up.
Fly a lot, get your time, and GTFO from a regional. For DFW guys who are lucky enough to get the 175, it's a good deal. That's all I've ever said.
