If you're going to do red eyes, might as well go large and get 7 hrs. average daily credit, good food and 4 Star hotels. Even without G/S action, the 350 annual pay is not fully represented by the hourly rate. As a 350/B, took me little effort to top my 7ER/A earnings, even with minimal PCS variety during the pandemic. Is a 15 hour block brutal? Yes, but you're never in the seat more than 3:30; easier than slogging through the night on your way to San Jose (not the one in California) or Guat City.
It's hard for me to see a REG 350B easily beating out a REG 7ERA without a lot of Greenslips or bidding with LCP trip drops and pickup on top.
RSV A I know all bets are off as I'm substantially beating out my 717A pay as a 73NB but that's also because of 6+ days of GS pay a month
