lol, and what agenda might that be? what's so hard to read about hourly x min guarantee? It's a comparison of min guarantees. It's plain to see that per diem, open time, credit hours and working above guarantee are not included in the graph. You don't have to "volunteer for open time" to credit higher than 70-76 hours. There are many factors involved. I don't know who you work for but... Some companies who clearly have a smaller pilot to airplane ratio will probably work their pilot group a lot harder than other companies. Is it possible for someone who work at the lower end of that graph make more in one year than a Horizon pilot without picking up open time? Absolutely. It also all depends on how people bid, including people sitting on reserve. Some people bid reserve and bid last out so they never get called out, some people bid first out. Maybe in some airlines 3 years is enough to have enough seniority that you have a better choice of which line credits more in one month. I can tell you now that 3 years at GoJet or Compass vs 3 years at Eagle or Comair might be a difference of holding a line in the single digits or sitting reserve. That graph is pretty objective in my opinion. It just didn't involve other factors.
