If you're making that kind of money either you're really senior and work the system well enough to were you don't give up much QOL or you're killing yourself for it.
I was referring to the DAL 1 year ATL 320 upgrades. Not working to hard with a modest 85 hours credit with 16+ days off. Year 2 pay will be $309/hr plus 17% DC and with 10%+ profit sharing you’re there at the 400k. Obviously you wouldn’t want to plan on that but if you have 20+ years left total comp will be much higher with more days off. UAL and AA will follow with their TA’s soon.
