592 + 360 = 952 hours in a year. I Don't do training on days off.
Round up to 960 credit hours per year.........that is good ballpark # for AVG line holders or 2ndary line holders or reserves. This factors in some protected carry over as well as some conflicted carry over..
By the way, as a 14 year widebody CAPT I was making MGT "quoted" avg pay for Fedex Pilot......I made right around 180 last year and I am 1 year shy of the highest pay rate...........Wish I could be one of those High end used for the company qouted averages.
