I hear what you are saying, but you simply cannot compare all airline jobs to yours. Have you flown at a regional as a reserve FO in the past year or two? If so then disregard. But a reserve FO at a just about any Regional carrier right now has to work harder than anyone in the industry. Including bar tenders. That side of the job is the pitts. And with little attrition even at regionals, it's a long period of working your butt off. Hats off to those guys.
