The pay scales go up every March, the numbers you reference will change in a couple weeks.
A pilot starting class this March would be making $124/hr once they start year 3 (2 years of service). If they consistently credit 100 hours per month that’s around 105 hours of pay credit including the 25% override after 82 hours. Just shy of $160k per year and you don’t even have to use that fuzzy math of including DC or per diem.
That being said, crediting 100 hours per month isn’t sustainable in my mind but to each their own. Plenty do more when they’re married to the premium folder alerts.
