Do you have a point? I've read this post multiple times and haven't found one. What does "we should get paid extra for everything" exactly mean? What is "extra?" What is "everything?"

Should reserve pilots get paid more if they sit short call? Should you get paid more if you fly a redeye? What if you are not a "morning person" but have an 0530 report? Do you get paid more for that? What if you prefer flying turnarounds, but you fly a one-day trip that has four legs? Do you get more for that? What if you have an MEL and have to actually read the orange book? Think of the strain that the F/O has to go through to pick it up, being a heavy manual and all! Do you get paid more for that too?

You have a universe of entitlement buried in there, but I am not sure just what you meant or did not mean.
