Yes. It's based on the filed flight plan block time regardless of how long the flight actually takes to complete. Some flights you make out, some you come up a little short (think Teterboro to Boston.) FDP is currently $148 an hour regardless of whether it's a revenue flight or an empty positioning flight. The money wheel starts spinning once you pass 10 hours into your tour.
Rounding up, $99 per hour in your pocket, $49 into your 401k. That's in addition to the employee contribution and the employer match, which is currently 58% match on up to 20% of what you contribute.
