For me it's a moonshot for a middle aged astronomer -- no can do. As another junior 717a I pretty much get RES guarantee plus whatever green I can mop up at the end of the month. Currently the greens are where even junior captains can get in on some of the action, but I take what I can get which usually means 1-3 days/month. Add that on top of guarantee and the best I can do is a 90 hour per month average. Certainly not complaining, as I have to work considerably fewer total days and I'm certainly not unhappy about my compensation. As an FO my seniority would put me around 10-15% so I could play the game but not quite as well. I find the left seat more rewarding than the right, my wife just prefers a fat bank account so there is that .
