Nope, I was stating gross. I don't count per diem as income, I don't live in base, and I work as little as possible. I can live just fine on my 75 hour guarantee which is probably why I don't work the system. My commute is from California so I need to bid trips that start in the afternoon and finish around 4-5pm if I want to have more than 1 flight to/from work. Sometimes that leads to unproductive or low value trips. Like I said in an earlier post, I just fly my line and go home. I also average about 15-16 days off so all of that might help explain why I make a little less than some other guys on here. But in the end, its still a regional so comparing who made 45K, or 38k, or whatever is like winning in the special olympics!

That sounds like a sweet loophole. I won't tell management if you wont!

Something like a 1999 hire date would make someone the junior DTW reserve FO when the latest round of cuts is over in 2012.

I'll be gone next spring or early summer according to the current plan.
