I'm still curious how unicorn that is? How many captains live within reasonable driving distance of CVG and have the seniority to get that many extra hours? How many days total worked and how many nights away from home would that be?

I like to compare airlines by seniority bands plus a reasonable guess for how long it takes to get there. Lifetime earnings are probably what matter the most to a prospective new hire.
even $280k-$310k with two weeks off in a big block every month is still a sweet job. Bid right and get yourself a month off without using a single vacation day.
