He told me and I'm taking his word for it. APA superiority at its finest.
man I have to call bs on this….at the top CA rate on the 777/787 of about $359 that’s darn near 336hrs of credit….$359 x 336hrs=$120,750 x 1.16= $140,070….if guys say $*** like this, I go show me your Hi1 then….even if he was imax-ed and flew 120hrs of all premium trips that still only 180 of credit…another even more aggressive look is he get 20 1-1(10.5)2days at PM by doing some same day stuff…that still short at 315hrs of credit…
