$253,659 (base+ anything above guarantee)
Per diem - $6,220
DC - $30,675
Block - 605
Total compensation- $290,554
Picked up a few 200% trip this summer
Home 15-16 days on average, and commuting 3 times each month. All reserve time is commute able (both ends) along with most trips (during a regular line months). Many of our CA who live in base was pushing $300K + DC and more days at home. LTD own occupation until 65 is another big plus.
Upgrades is under 3 years, with current fleet of 145 ish and will be around 300 + 50 option by 2027.
No disrespect but you worked 2.2x harder than I did to make that extra money. As a guy who was at the regional level for 11 years I know what that 605 hours feels like.
The 767 fleet at K4 is probably more comparable to the ULCC than our 747 fleet. The past 2 years at K4 guys have been knocking down 350k at the top and if you really wanted to work probably closer to 400k...
Where I sit (I can hold left seat on all fleets) you couldnt pay me enough to commute and walk thru the terminal looking like a zombie on starbucks crack 😁😁😁
Cheers
