How is that even possible. Your average credit is 142 hours a month? What's your average days off

That was about my average at my regional after upgrading. Got 179 but knew people who got a lot more. Worked quite a bit for it though. About time regional pay rigs and premium make it to mainline.

LOL. Love how guys who have zero clue are like "that doesn't take into account pension and free medical" like that somehow totally zeroes the military equation out. I am not a "thank me for my service" kind of guy, but if you haven't endured the military of the last 25 years, you probably shouldn't comment.
That dude's post is gold, and I a glad he posted it here. A first year regional pilot is making way more than someone with years of experience flying an airplane off the front of a carrier into the dark of night with no divert options. Let that sink in. It's a good time to be in this industry.

The grass is not greener. You are flying a fighter jet in the Navy. Pretty darn cool. I wouldnt trade 1 day of my military service for 1 day at the airlines and I was a loser helicopter pilot for a big chunk of it. This airline flying is by far the most boring flying you will ever do.....how guys do 40 years of LGA-DFW without going crazy is beyond me. Wait, I get it, they do JFK-LHR over and over also.
That's so true, but at the same time the work-in vs money-out is beyond comparison. I think I averaged 9 days of work/month last year. Add that to the check of the month club and $300/yr health care and it's a great place to be in retirement. Couldn't even even compare that to my slowest time in the military, even pre-9/11.

-more than double the compensation
-almost complete control over where you live and what you do with your life
-no extra duties on top of flying the jet
-more time to pursue other hobbies/spend time with family.
I’ll take that trade every day. The grass is very much greener.
