Probably do PBS and do 220 or more days which pays $5k more. If you have a line with less than what you want, you could offer to do extra days while on rotation. Anyways, the 220 comes out to $113ish base. $5k for >220. plus 10% but youll see less than that first year since it’s paid out in arrears. Plus average overtime, early start, extra days ~$4k+ (YMMV). Per diem $9k. Fuel bonus $4k or less. Let’s say you referred someone since being hired. That’s $3k (although I’ve heard of folks not getting paid out. You need to fill a special form and make sure they receive it.) You could be close to 150 year 1. Now will that all be acquired in the first 365 days? No since fuel bonus and 10% PBS is paid out in arrears. Someone else
hear can give you info on that. The bonus structure will be different on DRL and ILC. The 10% is only FO PBS. Take into consideration you won’t be spending any money on food on the road. I wouldn’t recommend 220 days but to each their own. I’m not including retirement this.
