The reality of it is that we are way fat on pilots. There is less money to go around. It is a shame that you are taking this out on your fellow pilots. Your point of view is very self centered and ignorant. Maybe you might just need to adjust your quality of life a little until the open time picks up again.
Unfortunately, I see this progression as the way an airline ends up with an 85 hour cap. Keep it up and you might just ruin it for everyone. We all want to work and make money towards whatever makes us happy. I.E. Family, traveling, hobbies, friends, etc.
She complained to me about those picking up open time out of base, this was over a year ago. She complained "I'll make 30k less this year because of these people." I then would sit and watch her on her ipad the entire preflight, refreshing DOT on FLICA for open trips. Refresh, refresh refresh...
Rule #1 Kiwi, dont complain to first year FOs the woes of living on only $250k while your FO makes $35k
