<<correct...the smaller the route, the smaller the plane the smaller the paycheck. >>
Not necessarily. Private pilots get paid LOTS...and those [censored] are smaller (obviously) than the commercial ones...

We are.
If you are a private pilot, you have to be available at your employers beck and call.
Personally, I don't think being a pilot is as glamorous as people think.

No, there are not "a lot" of female pilots. That is ridiculous. My husband flies and out of three squadrons there are TWO female pilots, granted this is military but I don't see a massive increase on the outside.
My friend's husband just retired from the AF and signed on with Southwest and his starting pay was about 35K for the first two years and then when he gets larger routes his pay will increase.

DH's nephew has his commercial pilot's license, but makes more flying private charters from Nantucket. Because it's not very much more, he also completed his air traffic control education/apprenticeship so he can afford to live. He does a lot of airport-hopping within the smaller, regional airports....and works whenever anyone asks him to. Last year, he cleared almost $50k. Yippee.

I'm not sure I'm following. You say the NCP was CO'd to pay $475 per month for daycare based on there being four weeks in the month. That breaks down to about $120 per week the NCP is required to pay. That doesn't account for those pesky five week months. There's four weeks extra in the year that aren't accounted for based on the CO. So the CO shorts the CP $120 per week those four extra weeks. That's only $480 extra per year.
How do you know how the formula was calculated? Are you sure the didn't follow the right formula?
What is the CP required to pay for their portion of daycare?

daycare is $252 per week. ncp pays $475 per month and nothing else. so, either way the CP is getting shorted on daycare monies. but it is what it is...a court order.
