Therapysession is correct.
The inflated YTD earnings being posted here are just that... inflated. Personally, my YTD is inflated by about $115,000 due to cancelled vacation payout and the signing bonus payout. It’s easy to show high numbers with these kinds of abnormal windfalls.
I don’t buy into the concept that we’re on par with the legacies based on the theory that we can make legacy money by working harder. That’s not the same. Monthly guaranty multiplied by hourly rate is really the only fair comparison. Beyond that, compare our 12% 401k contribution. Compare our profit sharing. Compare our average TAFB versus a legacy schedule.
But don’t tell me all I have to do is work 20% more and I’ll make legacy income.
