... but hey ... you were only 28% off, not too bad
You obviously don't understand how airline compensation works...and thats okay. You are only looking at guarantee numbers, and not considering any of the other "soft money" you get within the AWAC contract.
The average line is built to 83-87 hours of
credit, some up to 95 hours of credit on 88ish hours of block time (as my line was this month). Throw in a weather delay here, a junior man there, PHL delays every day and you can
easily credit over 100 hours per month while having blocked much less than that. If you pick up any premium pay flying, you stand to credit even more.
I worked 10 days in April, flying about 40 hours and credited 94 hours of pay.
My W2 for 2006 at AWAC (I was hired in early January) should be somewhere between 25-28K including perdiem.
