I support this fully, but voted maybe because I don't believe Captains should be part time.

I'd love to do it part time, so I could actually support myself with a much higher paying job that ironically has less responsibility and requires much less professionalism.

Either that, or the regionals need to start providing FOs with dorms, meals, laundry service and so on if they really want to treat it as a 'barely paid' internship.

We really don't need to pay more per hour, they just need to pay pilots for ALL the time they work, and not just when the door is closed. (yes, I realize I don't understand 121 pay, I just know my friends don't get paid when they are working for airlines, and they make dismal amounts of money).
