I’m calling Santa C but can someone confirm?
I have a buddy who is currently at ATP in Atlanta. We were talking the other day and he told me he has a buddy who’s father (who is 40) flies for Southwest out of Nashville, TN. He claims that said pilot makes $400k a year and only flies once a month. Can someone please confirm if this is even possible and how someone would even get to this point? I get seniority means a lot and you can make your own schedule but this seems a little too far fetched.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys

So yeah, I call bs on the flying once month claim.

If someone is making that much, it is by flying their butt off. There may be a vacation month where they can work a week and crush it, but that would be one or two months of the year. The rest of the time they would be either flying or glued to their phone/computer.

To make $400,000 and fly once a month it would have to be a 4 day that paid over 160 TFP, that isn’t going to happen. Now I can see a pilot making over $400,000 who lives in BNA but that pilot would most likely only be home once a month.
