The so called "flexibility" to earn more money through flying more hours is precisely managements concept of a "pay raise" they have always wanted us to buy into. The correct answer, more pay with more time with your family at home. Btw, getting time off is near impossible (flying as little as possible is a pipe dream for most catagories) and will probably continue this way due to the way the company staffs reserves now. This needs to change.

Ford and Harrison called. They want their playbook back. Oh wait, it's on loan to DALPA through C2015. Nevermind.
