Well ok let me validate my statement then... On this website under airlines/cargo/focusair.... Then let's look at top 747 CA pay (year five) $127/ hr using the calculator below it I come up with $127/hr x 60 hr gaurantee / mo X 12 mo / yr = $91,440/yr base now basic assumption lets say you are away for 21 days per month... 21 x $48 per deim /day x 12 mo /year =$12096/yr perdeim so total = $103536 max 747 CA pay per year.... Same process using 1 year CA pay = $70,560/yr + per deim = $82,656. Lets go further.... Year one FO = $42480 /year + per deim = $54576; Year five FO= $61,200/year + perdeim = $73,296

There is No way a top 74 CA at any company should only make $103K a year with a 5 year max out nor should any 747 FO only make $54K a year....and max at five years making $73K a year... Hell many senior RJ CA's make what a top 747 CA makes at focus... FOOD FOR THOUGHT
