If you knew him you would understand. Maybe.
It is a wacky move in my book, but whatever.

You have to look at the bigger picture.

If it went to the 500's that would mean he/she has been there for maybe 6-7 years. So would they then be a 6 or 7 year FO under the BBJ pay? If so it's not as big a paycut.

it's a huge pay cut. class 4 and 5 pay goes by years in program, not years of service.

some people do weird things. last EZ bid went to a BBJ PIC.

Maybe he will turn the bid down or he is flush with cash. I never heard of the guy go figure.

Didn't you get the memo? We don't get to look at the big picture.

Ahh, yes the big picture. I thought I saw the big picture once, but it turned out to just be a picture of some dogs playing cards.

I was told only the people that have been at NJA for more than 30 years are allowed to look behind the curtain to see "the big picture."

Remember the base pay in the bbj is just that the base pay.

If you're willing to do special ops stuff (read month on month of) you can make 3 times your base pay. Add a month of perdiem and you can really crank out some cash.

Of course you have to be willing to be gone for a month straight. But the scenery is nice and you used to get all the free DVD's you can get your hands on.

Speaking of which where is that Rosetta Stone I got.

Hopefully this guy will take advantage of the special ops stuff. He's going to need it.

I looked this guy up, and he is a Jan 2000 hire/G-200 PIC. That's year 8 pay next month, which comes to $99,600 on the 7/7 schedule, and $118,207 on reserve. That equates to one heck of a pay cut, if he doesn't get any special deals. Ouch!
