And if youre a 4 month street Captain you just walked into $310-$320/hr in a years time frame so barring any major financial issues I doubt anyone is going to be crying over missing a GS when theyre making 20-22k a month.
There’s a reason it goes to a 4 month upgrade. The ability (or lack thereof) to make bank is one of them. 20-22k is not that much anymore for a major CA.
And you’re on the 717 right? So your experience of constant green slip galore is not going to be an accurate picture for other fleets.
Just checked AS Captain systemwide this morning: ZERO premium trips. I wouldn’t want to have to rely on the company being short and having a premium trip as the only way to make more money on reserve.
