Last year, my hourly rate was $374.50
5:15 x that is $1965
But that's just the 23M7 "harmed pilot"
75%+ of the 23M7s I checked went as GS or IA. Let's just say the RES ones were free. That's an additional 1.5 x the $1965
$4913 per day of 23M7 coverage. Then there's the 17% 401k/MBCP
$5748 per 23M7 trip-day MINIMUM.
3 day median trip.
$17,243 per 23M7'd trip.
That's 5800 23M7d trips.
That's around 1 day of flights.
1 out of 30 trips being 23M7d vs what I saw when I checked 7ER ATL/NYC/LAX is well within the realm of reasonableness.
