I'm a NB FO and consider myself slightly above well below average

Last three years I was on 6 months of 3rd year pay, 4th, 5th, then 6 months of 6th year pay. Sat around for almost a year due to NQAT, so just making ALV with no ability to GS. I rolled thunder 1 month (no I'm not the SEA 330 Capt with 700+ hours....my hero!) this past summer and have cashed in 5 PB days during the last 3 years. Other than the one month of thunder, have only done 6-9 GS in my career because I"m a commuter.

I'm already at $566K for last 3 years and still have 3 more paychecks to go in 2022.

So assuming all the Capts and all the FO's senior to me, I'm guessing at least 69% of the seniority list did better than me the last 3 years, so I find his $500K to be a little low actually.

Just my slightly moist napkin math.
