That’s averaging 92 hours of credit on second year pay. So for every 72 hour guarantee month you need to have 112 the next month to average back to 92. Most lines are constructed right at 72 hours credit, five or take +5. So that’s a lot of gravy you need to seek out every month to make that happen.
You like those odds??

Depends...
-You live in base or commute
-Want to work as much as possible and pray for scheduling to call or enjoy your days off and enjoy not working too hard
- Live to work or work to live.
You can average 92 a month if you’re willing to pick up straight time, aren’t on reserve to do that. Be on the call list for scheduling to fill open time etc. Like any airline, your credit is influenced by how much you want to work.
But let’s say you get a 75 hour credit line, you need to average 92 for $80k. So that’s 17 hours you need to find every month. That’s about one of our 18 hour 4 days, or maybe 3 red eye turns, or 2 low production 2 day trips. So basically you need to find 4 days of work every month to get that to work, maybe 3. Maybe you’ll get a JRM call and take that at double pay.
So are you willing to drop to 12 days off a month in order to make $80k happen?
There is a Ca in DFW that was laughed at last year because her schedule leaked on the forums and showed she was down to like 7 days off for her month.

Why? So I can work twice as much as I do now? So I can say I fly a 777? So I can make gobs of money only to lose most of it in alimony or child support after my divorce?? Delta or UAL any day... AA isn’t exactly the greener grass from a QOL standpoint

And I will vote accordingly if that’s what crosses the table...from where I’m sitting my neighbor across the street who is a 22 year narrowbody FO at AA is gone ALOT more than I am... I’ve seen his schedules which make me vomit in my mouth. These clowns that think AA is the promised land are clueless. Enjoy your 13 days off a month. No gracias...you take my QOL I vote no... end of story
