As I stated in my post I work extra and live in base. I didn’t try to hide it and make up some fabricated story of only working half the month every month. I was honest in what our average or normal is. THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS BACK AND FORTH. We have WB instructor pilots doing 700k but they are working for it probably 20-22 days a month in the training center.

Thanks for that info. I more than understand how premium pay works and supply and demand during irregular ops. We all have this including us purple folk. So if you drop regular flying the premium trip can’t touch the original footprint. So a lot of things would have to line up as a previous Spirit pilot poster stated. You would have to do this month after month. Plus it’s not the norm it was just the past year. That’s my whole point bubba.

except this isn’t a first year move to a new career, new people are going to spirit after 5-10 years of paid flying experience. its not like the 7 year accountant moves to a new firm and starts at year one pay, or the guy who worked his way up to a management position at one company will likely start at a similar or higher position at his new company. Flying is the one job where no matter your level of experience or skills possess every starts at every company the same. If a company wants to be a top tier company they need to start people at pay rate near or above where they are pulling them from. (Regionals)

Should't your user name be "AllWorkNoPlay" with all that extra flying you're doing...kind of a misnomer, dont you think?

Thanks for the correction on the ability to pick up over the original footprint but as I stated with the math it still makes it tough and you are going to work extra every couple months.
