Heck just do the math on bidding short call as a WB FO. That alone nets you over 200,000. (assuming you have 12 years here)

If you bid short reserve and never broke guarantee (as a wide body FO) and did not pick up any OG or PR trips that would be true. You would make around 213K in 2019 plus any profit sharing. Minus the max 18,500 401K contribution would put you just below 200K taxable.
Now if you go out and fly 85 a month as a WB FO, you are looking at around 238K, if you can pick up a few PR trips (hit and miss on that)...you will be hitting 250K.

Meanwhile at United...group 2 Capt to April 2015 hires. Even though we have the most retirements, our upgrades are lagging. The consolation I guess, is that once one upgrades at AA over the next few years, their QOL and relative seniority will move pretty quickly.

Our upgrade time is dropping rapidly. When they first merged the lists the junior captain was around 10,000 on the list. It's now at 11,4xx. I think as people give up on PBS/TTS/TTOT many are choosing to stay senior in the right seat to have some chance of having a schedule that works for them.
