190 CA on SCL last year. Very junior. On RSV did 160 credit, 60 VDA one month. Commuter so I’d get there before my RAP, ask if they needed me to start early then they’d VDA it. Nearly every trip, every day they changed the pairing. OSP. Boom. At one point they bought me a positive space ticket on an off line carrier to cover a single leg. At end of trip they’d call and ask if I was willing to work another flight.

senior, drop schedule and put VDA on your schedule. Wait for the phone call. Your math should read like this.
12 year Capt. 264/hr * 190% = 501.60
1,200,000 / 501 = 2395.20
2395.20 / 12 = 199.60
Its pretty easy to do this when your doing your days at double time. Or maybe even triple time because you got something bought of your schedule.The people that are doing this literally have no life and only brag about working all the time and how much credit they have. I wish I made 1.2 million. However there is only so many times I can sleep in a hotel a year.

200 hours of credit means getting called out for ten 4-day trips every month, and every one of them at VDA pay. I’d believe 150 in a month with plenty of IROPS, but 200 VDA every month? No way.

(that is how it’s supposed to work upon full implementation of the CBA) and yes he averaged over 200 credit hours per month at 12 yr 320 FO rates.
