This can't have any semblance of validity no matter what. Too many variables that go beyond this. What if you have a 6hr min day like FDX(which is a 12.5% increase over the 5:15, but only effective some of the time, call it 7% real increase), then you tack on a full 6hrs for every training event (2.5% yearly increase to income), 6hs/day for each week of vacation (an average yearly income increase of approx. 4.2%), an extra week of vacation per pilot (average yearly income increase of 4.5%), a 75 min. guar. (an increase of approx. 5%). Up the DC to 18% (increase of 4%).
This adds up to an average increase of 27% PER PILOT without any rate increases or any other types of workrule enhancements.
Payrates are notoriously deceiving is all I'm saying.
(This in no way defines my personal "minumums", just point out all the other ways to increase income without payrates alone.)
