Just as 9easy said, I was VBD and wanted to put those numbers in for perspective. The 17k is what company put in to my 401k, not including my portion.

Longhaul widebody flying is the holy grail of working least for the most money.
There are a couple of cautions:
1) You have to be able to sleep in the bunks. If you can't, longhaul flying is torture.
2) You want to be able to easily adjust your body clock to different time zones. If you can't it makes the job less desirable.

Did longhaul for years and years, always tired. Started doing short turns (2 hrs each way) money be damned. Health and happiness is better.

In any case 34th year 777 capt with AA doing the short international stuff 80 hrs pay credit per month average (almost all hard time) with lots of sit-time away from base 337K for 2017. Again, 15-18 days on per month leaving early to late evening returning either afternoon to late evening on third day always an all-nighter eastbound. Half of them 2 man crews and the other half 3 man crews. Still tired and not even 60 yet so it does take its toll. By the looks of it other guys
dont do much better

Delta 737 commuter on 10th year pay.
Made just under 200k. Pretty pathetic considering my hourly rate is over $180 an hour and profit sharing adds over 15 percent to that. It’s what happens when you are a commuter in an over-staffed category. 70 hour months become the norm again. Even reserves average 75 hours.
