W2's

[jonjuan]

On my last commute I sat by a retired pilot. He says he regrets picking up extra trips and wish he would have spent more time with family.

His wife must be 30 years old then. Most of the gummers I fly with do nothing but bitch about how old and fat their wives are and don't mind picking up extra trips.

14 days to go!

It all depends then where their layovers are. South America, Asia, Lubbock?

I'm not quite sure about W2 wages because they are not yet available. What I can say is that 2013 afforded me 119 days at work for the year. That turns out to be 9.91 days of work a month or 20 days off a month. That total includes 3 weeks of vacation and a small amount of sick calls. My time at Southwest works for me.

Yes, and many peoples times at other airlines works just as well for them too. That's the point of all the sarcasm on here. We all are fortunate enough to pay our bills by flying airliners around. It provides an income to allow any of us to fund what should be a nice lifestyle. If you aren't, it has nothing to do with who you fly for and if you do have a nice lifestyle it has less to do with who you fly for and more to do with how well you lead your life.
Comparing what you make compared to what anyone else makes is either a reason to make excuses for what you think you lack or a narcissistic need to gloat.

Some of the most bitter and generally unhappy pilots I've ever met are wide body captains making over 250/ year and work 10 days a month....!
You just have to read some of the usual posts here, people spending a lot of time trying to convince everyone that their airline is so great...! That they are enjoying their careers so much, everything from the layovers to what they feed them during the flight....., at the end is nothing but another performance of the sad clown!

I made $50.

Perhaps they are afraid the "Good Deal Redistribution Fairy" will overhear any expressions of happiness, and take appropriate action.

$116K. Skywest CRJ Check Ariman.

My W2 says I had a job the whole year and its looks good that I will have one next year.

All the other numbers are just that, numbers.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my brothers and sisters who love to fly putting up with a messed up industry.

There's actually some truth to that.
Besides, time value of money is something pilots are awful at- I'll have to make six figures for a good while long to catch up to those who starting teaching grade school at 23

No reason to be bitter- ever- this industry isn't taking my soul! But, I do NOT apologize for what we make.
And if more would do the math in total instead of singling out individual years more people would understand

Time away from base I think is where we should measure this from ... How many hours were you away from base.. The lowest with the highest pay is prob the best measure of how hard a pilot works vs pay !?!! ?? Some guys dose for dollars and make a bunch but still are working .. At least away from home ..
