1400 hours of credit... not really. Maybe 700-750 flight hours for the year.

Think Getting paid 100 hours at $34/hr = $3,400/month = $40,800
Add $600 per diem/month = $7,200/year (I've made over $700 in some months)
All equals = $48,000
Don't see why I shouldn't include per diem in that amount, it's compensation and its tax free!

Funny thing about the 100 hours of pay is it is probably around 70-80 hours of flight time. Work rules did that. As Saab does it, he can pull in over 120 hours a month due being a line holder. This is with at least 12 days off and only seeing about a 5 hr/day average credit for the month. If I were a line holder I could get my credit up to 6-7 hr/day average.

This is all without our 401K contributions either. As of right now the company gives us 2.5% for putting in nothing. Then they match up to 4% of what we put in. This equates to 6.5% from the company for putting in 4%.

After talking to some pilots at the majors, they can really jack their pay up with their work rules.
