My buddy there made $190K this year, working as a FO that picks up captain trips.

Another myth is that swa guys work a crap load more, he has averaged 700 hours of hard time or less for the last 10 years. And he picks up plenty.

Just saying, when he goes to work yes he does multiple legs and 20 minute turns, but it the end of the year it's no where near 1000 hours like people think.
