Of course, a 4th year SWA Captain working 110 credit hours each month for the year would have earned $230k, or about $3.5k more per month.

Apples-to-apples...

That's about right credit wise. Only flew 756 hours though. Want to see my

Bingo. JetBlue is one of the few 'major' airlines where one can really rack up the credit hours IF one knows how to work the plan and has the senority to do it. ;)
