Another thing.. It's not always about making the most money. I've haven't done a trip since October. I've been home every day. I used my overnight bag maybe a dozen nights last year. I get the days off I want. Went on a cruise, Hawaii, and two Vegas trips without really using vacation time in the last 6 months. My life was built around 80-90 hours at $120 an hour. With the $216 I've been working minimum hours since November. The excess number of captains in SLC has allowed bidding down to 60 hours a month for a while now. Look at next month's PBS transition report. A large percentage of pilots are doing the same. It'll probably change in the future, but I'll enjoy it now.
And I'm not even all that senior in domicile.
