Akasa Airlines, an Indian carrier, canceled 5 Max’s… good, quality reporting is hard to come by these days. No surprise in today’s woke world…

Yes and most of them are full of 💩💩💩. A copy of the last paycheck, a 737 CA at Delta, and yes I will provide the exact same thing.
The guys over there will post, I made 500k and worked 240 hours all year🙄. I am actually going to hit a 520-550 number but I am working my butt off. It’s one or the other. You make 290k and never work or you make 500k and hustle. No one is doing both! They will tell you they are or their friend is or a friend of a guy they know is… That’s fine, it’s just not true!

A line pilot cannot make $500k at $266.29/hr. That’s 1,000 hours of seat time plus 877 hours of soft time. We just don’t have that much soft time, 1.5 trips, seat subs, etc. for one pilot to grab. $500k is possible as an instructor/check airman/management pilot and even then, you have to be humping. Another way is by picking up premium trips; life behind a computer screen or being glued to a cell phone is not living. No thanks! I choose life. BTW, thank you for helping out the company during these difficult times and NMB mediated negotiations. I can only imagine the douche who’s touting his/her/“they” earnings on a public forum but fortunately he/her/they is on my ignore list.

Take a look at the bigger picture here and quite thinking you are the rule instead of the exception… us other Captains at Alaska aren’t down here slogging at wages below our peers because we “don’t know how to work the system”. It is because we’re a 3000 pilot regional trying to compare ourselves to world wide billion dollar companies.
