so what did you make this year?

[Quiet Flight]

I made less than Mac Brown but netted more than Nicholas Cage.

 

[GogglesPisano]

More than I ever have. It only took 17 yrs of commercial aviation to break 6 figures. Where's Yip to tell us how lucky we all are?

 

[Tejas-Jet]

I made $5000 less than last year....from the airline.

Lots of factors...schedule cutbacks and took over a business that eats up a lot of my time.

 

[SuperFLUF]

Same as last year (topped out on the scale, reserve guarantee hours & inflation fairly flat this year)

 

[clippyrip]

leave of absence

What are you doing for work?

 

[Muskycat]

Position: LOA
Equipment: Desk
Years with company: 17
Gross (w/per diem): $110K
Hours flown: zippo

Not thumping my chest, just honest curiosity...

How many hours do you put in a week at the office and at home on the phone?

I don't know of many jobs that pay well and you can leave your work at work, and only put in 40 hours a week.

 

[SplitBar]

Per diem should never be included in your compensation totals. do you stick a sock in your shorts to impress also?

BTW My compensation is none of your business.

Why not? No matter where you work you have to eat. I spend less on food at work than my friends who have 9-5 jobs. Breakfast is always free and lunch is usually cheap or leftovers from breakfast or leftover 1st class meals / snack basket. Dinner isn't a bank breaker. I come out way ahead on per diem and rarely pack much for food. Any incoming $$$ is income.

Yip couldn't be here but he left a message: "Fly because you like to, not because you don't want to be completely broke. Maybe just a little broke."

 

[Stifler's Mom]

I'm surprised Yip's message didn't include not needing an education.

An "old hat" (if he ever wore one) recently sent me this..


From Kiplinger's Financials:

"The data shows that an income of $32,879 or more puts you in the top half of taxpayers. Earning a bit more than twice that much -- $66,532 -- earns you a spot among the top 25 percent of all earners. You crack the elite top 10 percent if you earn more than $113,018."

$32,000 is a lot of money, especially when you remember that these are U.S. Statistics...The rest of the World would drool over an income like this.
