What’s funnny is the exact example to which you were replying is on the first 10k number in his example in Sep. Or at least close. 21 days off/74 hours. I guess you’ll just have to look at the bid results.

I was comparing apples to apple not apples (old pay rates) to oranges (AIP rates). I agree completely that QOL is light years ahead on the WB for mid seniority but it’s a $60k per year someone is paying for that QOL. It’s great to have choices. Hasn’t been this way very often.
20 days off, 6 legs, more than I was making as a Captain.

Looks like that seniority range is either on reserve or if they are holding a line its about 15-16 off a month. All weekend flying.

And $300/hour buys you the lifestyle that $150/hour bought you just 5 years ago.

C'mon man.......not even close.
$150 in 2018 is the equivalent of $183 in 2023.
