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

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.

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.

There are no skippers at United after 5 years or Alaska or southwest or American and only a tiny few at delta. Someone who started United the same day I did here is around $165/hr 767 FO. I’ll be more than him. And Im left seat. If it takes United guy additional 5 years to upgrade I’ll be making $240,000 by then, and woulda made MORE each year between now and then. I don’t care if Uniteds 5 year captain scale was $375/hr .... know why? Because nobody is on that scale!! It’s a ghost rate.

I pay $94/mo or $1128/yr for medical. Dental is less than $10/mo and we are now on the Alaska plan(s). YMMV depending if you have a spouse and kids, want Kaiser etc., I just have myself.

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.
