As a wisconsin FO, on second year pay (who works his a** off), I'll clear 50k this year. An example on how to do this? Right now I"m on "vacation" but traded it in for a 4 day that time and half that's worth 23 hours of credit, plus I picked up a one day trip at 6.5 hours. Yeah, it sucks, but this week alone I"ll make about 1,500 bucks.
