A line pilot cannot make $500k at $266.29/hr. That’s 1,000 hours of seat time plus 877 hours of soft time. We just don’t have that much soft time, 1.5 trips, seat subs, etc. for one pilot to grab. $500k is possible as an instructor/check airman/management pilot and even then, you have to be humping. Another way is by picking up premium trips; life behind a computer screen or being glued to a cell phone is not living. No thanks! I choose life. BTW, thank you for helping out the company during these difficult times and NMB mediated negotiations. I can only imagine the douche who’s touting his/her/“they” earnings on a public forum but fortunately he/her/they is on my ignore list.
