I just crunched a few basic numbers.
As a 12 year captain who does NOT work days off, I grossed 286.6 this year, and that does not include perdiem. Nor does that include the 10,000 into my retirement. I also took January off for vacation. I won't even come close to breaking guarantee in December. I actually flew right at 700 hours for the year. That equates to about 409/hr. Y'all can crunch the numbers anyway you want, but thats what I made. It ain't Purple or Brown pay, but I don't need that to feel good about myself. This is the most I have ever made. I am completely debt free.
There are many that enjoy working more than I, but l work to enjoy life.I don't live to work.
Is this the best job going? No. But it's much better than many.
Happy New Year to everyone. Merry Christmas to All, and to all a good night.

You’re helping them more than you’re helping yourself. We have precious little opportunity under the RLA to exert pressure. Every OT picked up is a lifeline they desperately require and a detriment to the pilot group as a whole.

You’re right, I don’t. My apologies for making that assumption.
I’ve been involuntarily extended 4 days over the last two months on reserve. That’s not something I would simply categorize as ‘overtime,’ but I suppose that’s mostly a difference in semantics.

Cos I never thought of that until you just mentioned it. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm off to Delfedups next week. I just wish you had told me a couple of years ago. Thanks man.
