Because that's not MY math. It's going to be years before I get off of min guarantee reserve. I don't make 300k a year flying 8 or 9 days. I make 200k flying 0 days. ZERO days. I don't work. I don't go in. The phone does not ring. It's not a bad thing, necessarily.
NB CA get flown to the maximum. THAT difference is about $120k and I've got braces and colleges to pay for, and I live in base. I'll give it another 8-10 months on the WBFO and then go make some money for a while. When I can semi-retire on the WB again, I'll go back.
Or whatever. The world's on fire and who knows if a furlough/black swan is coming.
