Makes no sense for a CA but a FO should definitely go. UPS = not living in base for most people lol
I think the pay rates on APC are old, buddy at UAL told me he makes $270/hr as a 7 yr 737 captain. I assume he didn't include profit sharing or the match in that. If that is correct, it's a bit more than $15/hr. It would definitely take years to make up the difference, but over 30 years, with a chance of WB captain....
