Basic for the Legacy guys? No, the $280 per hour is what they get. So, if the wide body skippers do less than 800 hours per year, I guess that's even less cash to pay off the 3rd wife! 700 hours would be under $200k. And I wonder how long it took those guys to reach the 12 year scale on the big planes? 10 year B777 F/O I think was around $180? Doing 800 hours makes $144k, quite a way from the $200k quoted. And again, all before tax and deductions.
Jury duty in Dubai? Now that would be interesting! As for deicing, again, not much call for that in the Gulf. All interesting points but hardly run of the mill every day events to plan your pay on, is it? Holding however......now that's a different story altogether!
