Even crediting 100 hours/month and including the DC of 14%, it seems like a stretch.
Personally I don't like including the DC...but I can understand why it would be. So with 14% DC at $108 an hour its an average of 102 credit hours/mo + monthly credit over pay which puts it at 107. Figure 2 weeks of vacation worth 35hrs each after PBS, That brings the 102 needed per month down to about 96. With average line value around 78hrs and 15 days off, its not hard to find an extra 18hrs to fit in there. It's just whether you care to or not. I suppose some are factoring in a couple grand in per diem also? Personally I'd rather not work that hard, but its definitely not "difficult" to make 160+ on 2nd year.
