that won’t be the case this year. And he is an FO not a Captain who had LGB as his blue city. The rules changed late last year he will now get called after all the in base FO’s in LGB. (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.

The story I’ve heard is that he was JFK based but lived in LGB. He would pick up VDA in LGB but since he wasn’t based there he would collect round trip DH pay for anything picked up...which is (was) like 11 hours at 190% before the engines even start turning...for every trip.

I can’t confirm that one but I can confirm the 200 hr (take home credit) pilot that was available VDA in LGB is a super senior FO not based in LGB. The rules have changed and the pilot isn’t getting that kinda credit anymore. That was all I was confirming I didn’t read earlier posts. I know some senior captains that were dumping their entire schedule to get VDA but 200hrs at VDA rates would be pretty amazing, I guess in theory it’s possible but that would be well over 1.3 million. The earlier calculation didn’t include the retirement matching to goes on your check once you have hit 401K/VEBA max. It adds up with that calculation 1.2 million is closer to 180 VDA hrs per month, still hard to believe. Just ball-parking it by the way I haven’t put a lot of effort into the math side of this scenario.

Oh yeah this is complete garbage. The 190 guys getting bought off trips and paid at VDA for 4 days to fly to SAL Over and over and over again. But I cannot call up and ask for them to make and exception to put me on a DH that’s 29 minutes after block in VS 3.5 hour later? Because “contract”... where does it say in the contract that only a handful of guys can fly those? Where is the bid for special training to fly to SAL? Rubbish.

Did the LGB pilot use his 1.2 million to buy a 2 bedroom, zero lot line, 800 sq feet ranch home built in 1967?
So after CA taxes he got.... like 159K? Joking! We’re pilots. He’s got a sister that lives in TX and uses that address to bilk the state government out of taxes. Purely hypothetical. And I don’t know that, but....we’re pilots.

two different stories. One was 190, another 320. I know personally the 190 pay to be true.
