The pay premium for a 320A is 11% over 350B and 18% over 330B. The increased efficiency in trips translates into a higher daily pay rate. If it's all about the W2, you can pick up more days of work and still preserve QOL.

If it's all about the Benjamins, creating a second income with the extra time off is a great choice. You'll be making more money, working less AND have a backup plan for the next industry downturn.

Default Training Freeze Correction

Who can fix an incorrect training freeze date?

When I look under iCrew>Advance Entitlement / Displacement Preferences it has the wrong date next to "Freeze expires:"

How did you come up with the pay premium percentages? I like your idea about having a second stream of income and enjoying the extra time at home.

It's the difference in hourly pay rates with the international override added to the 330 and 350. The 330 comparison does not include the 330-900 rate of $236 with override.
These are the year 12 pay rates. $274 per hour, $246 per hour, $233 per hour. The rates are lower, but the ratios are the same for years 2-11.

321 Rate is $286, so that widens the gap a bit. Bid reserve and get that rate all month as well. Also, the TBD 321NEO rate hopefully may widen the gap even farther.

Your percentages are incorrect for example for 5 year: 320A is $260 and 330B is $208 with override. 260-208 = 52. 52/208 = 25%.

208/260=80% which is 20% less.

The problem with numbers is that they always lie.

Either way, my opinion on the matter is that an A seat always wins out assuming that the ability to get similar days off is equal.

In my world, I can only spend each day once. How I do it is up to me, but there’s no going back. Schedule flexibility is king and 20%-25% pay difference won’t change it.

Now, to me, 50% would buy more days off in the future, but again it would be a calculus.

Well since virtually no one is going from 320A to 330B, the denominator should be what pay you start at not what you end at. Additionally both numbers are higher than the originally posted percentages.
