Original Message I get it - you made the best choice, you're living large. I already said you win. Maybe it's not 3x - I'm not sure what an "average" rotor salary is these days, but I have a general idea. And you're right, I'm not home every night (duh). Here's what I do know. Next month I will: - fly 1 3-day trip and 2 4-day trips - have 20 days off, of which 12 will be in a row 21 NOV - 2 DEC - fly 6 legs for the month - be gone from home 196 hours - make $19,173, $509 per diem, and company 401k contribution of $3,259 - this is for a slow, winter month schedule. If I wanted to pick up a 3-day during my string of 12 off, I could add around $5,500 to that 19k and the 401k would go to about 4k. Per diem would also jump up slightly.
So maybe not 3 times your average rotor-head, but I'd be willing to bet not too far off.
