Living in base, it’s easy to make extra, even being junior, without too much effort. The math is simple. 17 hours a week (our BLG) equals 884 hours a year. 265 (ish) an hour x 884 is $234k without a single minute of extra flying. That doesn’t count per diem, training, draft, international, or vacation buyback. Sale back one vacation adds $17k, now we’re up to $251k. One only needs to fly an additional 3.7 hrs/wk. that’s 82 hours in a 4 week month or 100 in a 5. FYI, both of those numbers are below the average line credit for a Memphis based 777 captain for the past few months.
