So if you feel this thread is useful that’s cool. But it’s still just a flexing contest. Everyone knows who makes the most and who makes the least. Would it matter if the dude worked as a nanny 1 day a week? Nope not one bit.
Actually, as someone who has started a side business and looking at shifting my gig, I'm genuinely interested in his answer. Showing how much you made on a side gig without giving data on days worked doesn't give a full picture. If I simply dropped my total compensation without my company/position/days & hours worked, then I would consider that flexing.

I've never really understood peoples disdain for talking about pay. I think that a lot of information can be garnered out of these threads, especially for those looking at where they want to work...even if you're already at your desired company, I think you can learn a lot. In the past, these threads have caused me to chat more with friends at a particular airline about things in their contract. I would actually love to see a breakdown of W2s even within my category. I wouldn't even care to know names, just general seniority, as that would tell a lot! On people who worry about such things would consider it a measuring contest.

Yes, defined contribution. It's what the company puts in your retirement account.

As a WB FO that did a little research on jumping to NB CA, that jives with what I figured...~3 days/month more than I average now. For now, the pay jump just isn't worth the extra days worked.

I dunno. I just did some research. The last full year on the 777 I worked a total of 140 days. On the Bus I worked a total of 144 days in 2019.

Those extra four days paid $10,000 each at the end of the year.

Not even close a little over 9 years seniority close to 48% relative seniority in the company. If I was 100 or less I could clear north of 5 with no problem.

My bad. Good to know. Been flying with too many senior bubbas on VDAs lately.

Yes lots of VDA/RSA/Premium time required to make the numbers.

Yeah you didn’t need to be anywhere close to a top 100 number in 2019 to get multiple cold calls or VDAs in either the 190 or Airbus captain seat. Seniority didn’t matter. Those winter Irops, the Easter debacle and summer were quite the spectacle.
