$22,292 base + $1285 OR = $23,292
Math says $4,286 more in February on the line then in TK, and with 2 more days off. That’s TK making more than $51,000 less per year with 15-20 days off less per year. Sure you can pick up OT right now at TK, if you did the max of 3 OT you would then match the $ of the 15 day off line, but would then only have 10 days off vs 15.
Well, sure, the paycheck is more.
That TAFB though.........
I rarely did more than 300/mo when I was at the regionals with 14 days off a month.
Now toss in if that 300+ TAFB is a commuter.
My buddies at TK have way, WAY more time at home than the average line slug.
Commuting to the TK job would also skew those metrics.
It's more an apples to oranges comparison really.
