Why? Are you coming over? If that is the reason then don’t. The merry go round will stop in a couple of years and everybody will go back to 70 hour months with not a lot of OT. Right now we have a pilot who worked for it but is over 600k a few over 500k and a bigger group over 400. I would guess that the average Captain is well over 300 this year.

Why am I curious? Because he tossed out a big number, and someone did the math @90hr/month + and came up 13k short even including per diem.

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.

For clarification these numbers must be Kalitta, not Atlas as in the thread title.

I would agree, that needs to be removed unless you take a giant Yeti cooler on your trips.

The pay is where it should be. These salary numbers are the same as FedEx and UPS thus making Kalitta a great alternative career.

Believe it or don’t believe it. He is right and you are wrong. Are you the IRS? BTW that is a very little number at K4 this year. This year and I think next (hopefully) year are anomaly’s. Within 3 or 4 years we will be looking at Atlas as the highest paying. Then someone else.

Just to compare the numbers from the Connie pilot, I'm a 10 year 747 Captain, will be right at 174.4 with an additional 7.4 matched into the 401k. No open time, averaged about an extra 10 hours above guarantee a month due to the rig.
