Total. 374k
401k - Commie doesn’t know what this is. (Honest typo, but I’ll allow it) 4500 co 21,000 personal.
165 Days worked, block just under 400. Only 33 landings.
Tons of vacation, 2 or 3 extra time trips.
Kimchi coming out of my ears. I’m over this.
My brother;
5 years remaining.
ATI 5th year CA.
303k total.
He hustled and missed his own birthday.
401k co - 5000 self - 15000
Days off - 165 he picked up a premium trip a few times, high value. Their regular OT is just straight pay, seems shady.
Block - 689, however, he spent two months on short call.
He seems to enjoy it more than me, the Amazon flying is easy, but recently he’s upset with long sits.
Lots of management problems and the same drama that reminds me of the regional days.
He lives in nowhere Midwest and loves home basing.
Your brother must really enjoy his job. That seems like an awful amount of flying and time away for a 60-year-old. Is he playing catch-up with retirement? No judgement, it just surprises me to see some older pilots working that hard if they don't have to.
