Bottom line is Rex’s base pay is terrible.
However, the way Rex’s crewing and rostering work, these things need to be taken into account.
Theoretically, if you only worked as your roster said, you’d probably earn between $15-30k above the base for 600-700 hours a year.
A savvy Captain, can turn that into 500 hours (yes, working less) a year and an additional $100k-150k pretty easily by knowing the way things work.
