I said I feel we should be paid for 100 Percent of our time, not 50. Duty In to Duty Out. Even if it's not our "flight rate". Unfortunately I put too much money into flight training before I realized how pilots are paid for only 50% of their time. You sound like you are ok with this. I've had many jobs in my life; grocery stores, pharmacy's, FBO, flight instructor and being an airline pilot is by far the worst when it comes to paying you for your time you spend on the companies watch.

Another topic for another day. But can we get it all at once? No. little by little.. training.. ready reserve.. pre-flight.. little by little, maybe we can paid for our time.
