Yes, because 20 hr 3 days grow on trees. You’re picking the best case scenario.

4 year F/O pay is $46 / hr not $48.

Is it doable? Yes. If someone is that enterprising as an F/O they can certainly engineer themselves up a job at an LCC and making double that an hr within a year.

You clearly are speaking to people who have no idea what the industry is like. 120 credit hours consistently, red flag or not is not sustainable unless you live in base.

You still projecting a 2 yr upgrade with this bid ending in a week?
I said 2.5. Yes I still think that will be the case. I said 2 by the end of the year.

300 x 1.95 = 585 per diem =
6320 gross per month with 12-13 days off.
6320 X 12= 75,900 + 10,000 EQO= 86,000 gross.

We aren’t even using things like vacation trip touch and picking up even more flying into min off days. If you are a lineholder and you are not making money here blame yourself.
Interpreted: All you have to be is hungry and motivated

No you didn't.

"Upgrade time will drop around 6 more months with this bid. Getting very close to 2 years."

I do that usually once a month, sure I have to haggle with scheduling a lot but it’s not hard. The last month I had 21 hour red flag 3 days and a 12 hour two day picked up. If I could post my schedule and pay I would.

Problem with this statement is that if EVERYONE was “competent”, your success in working the system wouldn’t be so....successful. You need a significant chunk of the group to not know what you are talking about to achieve this. It’s not typical nor is it even something the majority can work out.

Dropping 6 months would be 2 years, 4 moths. I’m glad you are so obsessed with me you can pick me apart to that extent. I’ll stick with the 2 years, 4 months. Which is close to both 2 and 2.5.

Thanks sweetheart

Even with the underline and bold you try and weasel out of your statement.

No we are not going down to 2.5 yrs or 2 yrs, 4 months on the next bid.

How about you give us a guess how junior (senior really) the 30 175 upgrade slots go in ORD? How about the 145 upgrades that get backfilled?

We’d all like to know.
