I could be wrong, but considering most reserve lines have a minimum of 12 days off, I can't see someone with the seniority to make $250,000 a year working 20 days a month with a major airline.[/QUOTE]
Alright, I have to admit I am one of those guys. I sit reserve with -8- days off a month and make about 30,000 a year.....that is GROSS PAY! To top it off I do this in the left seat. The really sad thing is that the same Captains flying the same airplanes 15 years ago made the same dollars...NOT considering "Today's Dollars".
To think I was actually having a good day till you guys made me think about that!
