Thanks Dutch747 you must be a Captain and I bet your crew loves you with that warm direct advice. Seriously, thanks for providing the search results, I was able to view them. I wonder if I had not done the 10 posts if I could have?
This post was one of the 10 posts I needed to be able to do a search and use the search feature, as stated below.

Sometimes being direct...
I always seem to get in trouble with my approach. You are a registered user so you have access to the search engine correct? Regardless, if you need more information, don't hesitate to ask.

Well ok let me validate my statement then... On this website under airlines/cargo/focusair.... Then let's look at top 747 CA pay (year five) $127/ hr using the calculator below it I come up with $127/hr x 60 hr gaurantee / mo X 12 mo / yr = $91,440/yr base now basic assumption lets say you are away for 21 days per month... 21 x $48 per deim /day x 12 mo /year =$12096/yr perdeim so total = $103536 max 747 CA pay per year.... Same process using 1 year CA pay = $70,560/yr + per deim = $82,656. Lets go further.... Year one FO = $42480 /year + per deim = $54576; Year five FO= $61,200/year + perdeim = $73,296
There is No way a top 74 CA at any company should only make $103K a year with a 5 year max out nor should any 747 FO only make $54K a year....and max at five years making $73K a year... Hell many senior RJ CA's make what a top 747 CA makes at focus... FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Are you guys for real
Do you guys really think that flying a 747, making just over 100K a year, and working 19 days a freaking month is a good deal? YGBSM--right? As long as you guys are willing to work your asses off (19 days a month) for less money, things will never get better. Wake up dudes and walk away from the light. Saying you fly a 747 is just not that big a deal. I understand you are trying to "make it", but trust me you have not arrived where you want to be just yet.
