But now, as a reserve pilot, I could end up flying the same amount of hours while also sitting 6 short calls on the remaining days !!!
So it just isn't "gosh, I have to fly 75 hours this month?"
Simple, oil is down. And we are cutting capacity which means we should be profitable.
Perhaps the most ignorant comment I've ever seen posted on here.
If the post is that ignorant then please educate me on how I need more than a 20% raise over the next 2 years to beat "inflation" While you are at it also educate us how full blown section will make us better off. I wont hold my breath waiting for an educated response as all I expect is a one liner.
