Oh you and your crafty little memes.
Find the pairing yourself, you have enough time on your hands. Here is a hint. 23 hours pay is based on 3.5 duty rig. So sniff out that 80 hour trip, and you’ll have found it. |

80.5 TAFB...lol Reminds me of the regionals. My guess it’s an early start and a late finish.

Really.. 2-3 more days off per month and you’re willing to give up $20K - $30K per year?
Your day-off value ~ $700 - $ 1,100 Anyone actually know what an average Alaska pilot is paying for their medical insurance? I bet it’s much less than you’re willing to give up As for days off, even a junior lineholder can average 6h+/day, so working minimum, work 11-12 days a month and have 17-21 days off every month, depending on seniority. We don't line bid (yet) on the VX side and our pairings are pretty efficient. I've been able to bid 97h block with 17-18 days off a month ever since I was 15-20% deep as a lineholder. No complaints. :) |

Here comes fhe “effective rate” crowd. Lol.
That is a terrible argument for too many reasons to list I don't send block hours to my mortgage company, I send money. Like I see on my W2. I think he has a VERY valid point. |

Is it though? Tell a SW guy who can credit over 200 "trips" per month and double his hourly wage that. Tell a Delta or United guy who's swimming in soft time at 100-200% that. It matters.
