Heck they accepted me, and I'm far from it.
I would also expect there to be another category of eligible's.
That of Eastern European super models.
Laker.
What you said is correct, but it is in fact far more lucrative.
They also give you a 12% B-fund pension contribution up to the Federal limit of $42,000 a year.
Captains hit the limit about mid November.
There is no 401K match, but having contributed into it for 30+ years that fund is considerable.
I work four on, ten off all year long. I don't need a vacation, as life is one long one.
So I sell my five weeks back to them.
They buy my unused sick bank back from me every year.
There is a discount stock purchase plan.
The dividend rate is exceptional.
The regular A-fund pension will go to $4200 in 2021.
So after 30 years maximum, the payout will be $126,600/year.
And I'm gone.
The top pay will go to $337/hr by 2021.
December is crazy around here. I sign up for 150% extra trips all month long.
Not that I'd know what to do with it all.
I never quite figured that part of life out.
I'm happiest with an old Ford pick up truck, and a dog.
There's more to life than money.
As a company to work for, they have been most excellent.
I'm not bragging on myself.
For I did nothing, other than ride the crest of a wave.
I just looked at your pay rate on airlinepilotpay.
I don't think I've ever seen a group of pilots more deserving of a 100% pay raise.
