There’s 13 x 28 day rosters in a year.
If for 11.5 of those you did 87 hours, you’d go close to hitting your 1000 hour annual limit. For the remaining 6 weeks you could take annual leave for which you would be paid your average hours, which would be 87.
87 x 13 = 1131
1131 x current year 4 hourly rate = $398k. Add allowances, super and training into that, and you’re over $400k.
All of that presupposes that there is additional flying to pick up AND that a pilot is motivated to chase those hours, but it can be done.
