Im still trying to figure how you earned $500k plus as a NK CA to being with. Even with your only debt being the house, (scared to see that house payment) Sorry but all the kiddo stuff gets cut until there is a solution. Welcome to life, kiddos, life isn’t fair.
I’ve never even come close to that as a Captain. Best year I had as a Captain was $327K in 2023. That’s why this contract sucks so bad for RSV. Can’t drop, so with only 12 days off, not much chance to do any premium. It’s pathetic really. My buddies flying 757 and 767s at United as 3rd year FOs are making more than me. My one buddy who is a 9 year Captain at United made twice what I made last year, working less days than I worked. I really got blinded by the lie of our QOL, not much different than anywhere else I’m finding out. We just heavily subsidize it.
