This is really difficult for me to believe. I can get my head wrapped around you making more than him, but also working "way" less than him? How? The only way you're beating a Legacy CA in his 60's, which means he's topped out, and don't forget his DC, is if you're flying 95 hours a month and 25% to half of that is out of the premium folder.
