I know many guys who make north of $250k, various bases, aren’t instructors, and have a great QOL. Of course guys aren’t making that at guarantee, anyone with a calculator can do that simple math. But I assure you plenty of us are making north of $250k, and still plenty of time off.
Should a new hire plan on that? Heck no, should guys that made $280k this year expect the same next year, probably not, depends on staffing; but let’s once and for all end this ridiculous notion that a Spirit pilot making a quarter mil a year is somehow some weird “outlier”.
I agree. I’m a fifth year captain. Don’t work that hard at all. Did one x list trip all year. Usually credit 85 to 95 and my w2 at the end of October was just under 220k. So for guys that do a little more, it seems 250k and up would be pretty easy.
