You all have hit the highlights, bonuses, issues, etc. I just fly my line change or no change for the most part. This month with the CBA implementations bit by bit has been rather beneficial. Original China run displaced and $ accrued for it, line added to cover displacement also additional China run added. That being said, at least 20 hrs close to 100hrs just flowing along not too strenuous. 175% does help quite a bit, I mean a lot. Doing actual math shown by block: ICN to WUX or PVG is 2hrs, then back to ANC is 9hrs so 11 hrs total either way. ICN-HKG-ANC is 4hrs+9.45 call it 14hrs… Granted the SYD thru China was considerable (haven’t done SYD for a long time). With some taxi congestion, ATC flow, WX, etc., some time is added but it will be less than 40 for 3 calculated runs above. Art. 33 INC-HKG-ANC on a routine basis is not impossible, but highly improbable YRMV. I will say with the implementations it has forced my lines to be more efficient. Personally could go either way as I enjoy my time off (not as much right now due to viral debacle), but I can totally see the benefits and most lean towards the work me to death and show me the $. I live to the guarantee, the rest is gravy and now it’s a second helping as long as the bonus cheddar lasts.

* Just Me: If all three Art 33 lines were flown above included in my normal line (Not my case) and using 100hr pure flight time with additional Art 33 above it would be 300K if done for 12 months (not normally lines I pick up based on wanted days off), but training twice using bid conflict and not using vaca drops it down to 275K. Used my rates as a senior FO well beyond 3 years to show 450k isn’t likely unless I out base and did over 5 $ runs above at least just to break 400K. Need to get the HKG run 6 times every month, out base every month no training conflict, no vaca conflict to break 450K - I would like to live a bit longer. ***Guarantee to time out anyway so impossible for myself… Apologies, I was just curious.
