Just don't ever let me catch somebody like him wondering what happened to the glory days where pilots were well-compensated and treated like professionals.
Just FYI, I'm a senior DAL 777 FO. I understand QOL. However, it took me longer than 2 years to get here. The OP makes roughly the same payrate I make and by the sound of it, has about the same monthly credit time as I do...
That's pretty far from just scraping by.
I'll stand by while you explain to me your strategy of getting us all back to the Cadillac-a-month pay levels.
