i’m sure everything you are saying is correct, but I’m not talking an outlier, I’m talking about an apples to apples comparison.

I know CKA here at Spirit that make far more than an average Delta captain but they play the system too...picking up extra sim sessions, etc.

I know a AA 777 captain (pre-COVID) that flys DFW-HKG that’s about 17 one way. 34ish on one trip. Now do the math, how much do you think that guy make in a month at $342/hour and how many days off/month. Versus a narrow body guy making $278/hour. Again comparing minimum guarantee or some thing normal. Not working the system.
