Pretty sure he's talking about the bonus for one year, 30k. Picking up a few extra trips or six as a captain is definitely believable for a fairly senior widebody captain.
....my numbers were for one year, 32K. (30 (+2 for WTI)).

If I pick up a premium time flight, I'm making double pay or $600/hour. As a widebody Captain, I typically fly 10 hours a leg so 3 extra flights (3 round trips or 6 legs = 6 days) is $36,000 for an average of 0.5 extra days per month. I currently average 15 working days per month so it would increase the average to 15.5 days.Help me out with that math: An extra six days a year gets you 32K? You're making 5K per day, 75K per month (at the 15 days/month quoted) and 900K per year?
Don't confuse pay hours with block hours.. I'm on a trip right now that blocks 2:30 but pays 6 hours. At 289 an hour that's $1734 for one trip. I fly domestic so since all his is international the numbers are realistic!I'm just impressed that you're flying 150 hours a month right now.
I just realized that pay stub pic included about $100k in retro pay for our new contract. So subtract that from the YTD Gross. Still makes my point.
