Well said, who the hell wants to work that much anyways? This flying is hard enough as it is.

Getting some redesigned bag tags?

I’m just telling you what they’re saying they are doing. I haven’t seen a check stub. It was 747 CA’s doing it though.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but have you done long haul flying? It's brutal on the body, those numbers your posting are probably possible at Kalitta, but practical year over year? No way, that would put you in the grave quick, and your personal life would be virtually non existant. The guys that are making 600k a year are probably sim instructors or something, but that's an extremely hard gig to get. The 50 hours a month I average on the airplane here is the same or harder than the 80 hours when I flew domestic narrowbody.

Folks averaging 190 hrs likely need to have months over 200 hrs to balance out softer months. I'd be curious what one of these 200 hrs months even looks like from schedule standpoint. And these are senior 12 year guys to be getting top rate - that's serious commitment at that age to a ton of flying each and every month for the entire year.

I average 25-48 hours a month long haul. This month is a fluke and I’ll only get about 12.

That's awesome.

Pay hours aren't the same as flight hours. If you are senior and get awarded an 80 hour line, working a day off automatically adds 4 hours on top of your guarantee. Any hours flown on a day off are at 1.5x and added on top of guarantee. Any flight hours flown above your guarantee on a day on are added on top of the guarantee.
Being awarded a high hour line and working a few off days a month is all it takes to bring home big numbers. Nearly everyone in the past year has broken guarantee each month. This year will be interesting, I have a feeling that OT will be harder to get.

Even with those rules averaging 190 a month is still pretty tough at any ACMI.

Are we still talking ATI?....those are some hugh numbers if so...
