Difference is about 15%.
If it’s a 160 hour divisor the gap increases.
A330: 160 x hourly pay rate= $47,321.6
MVF: 160 + circa 18 hours o/t (two ULH patterns) x hourly rate x 1.05= $55,277.54
Difference is about 16.5%.
in essence a MVF pilot flying 160 hours earns more than an A330 pilot flying 180 but will work three(ish) less days.
(The o/t I’ve used supposes 1 JFK and 1 LHR. 2 LHRs would yield slightly different numbers).
The MVF rosters you've quoted don't include any night credits! Get back into your management office and spare the rest of us. Doing that roster would be more like 195hr and 175hr on conditions as they are, including 4 sectors that are currently illegal!!
