I know some senior captains that were dumping their entire schedule to get VDA but 200hrs at VDA rates would be pretty amazing, I guess in theory it’s possible but that would be well over 1.3 million. The earlier calculation didn’t include the retirement matching to goes on your check once you have hit 401K/VEBA max. It adds up with that calculation 1.2 million is closer to 180 VDA hrs per month, still hard to believe. Just ball-parking it by the way I haven’t put a lot of effort into the math side of this scenario.
