I'm sure improvements can be made, but don't know what the rub is.
IMO they need to have ADD Pay for working you into a RDO or HDO... FDO is fine with special hoops... The add pay should be same as what line holders get... Why are their days off worth more? This opinion is from a previous 67 line holder... Biggest screw job for RSV in my opinion is having only 6 solid days off... Company would not screw RSV pilots if their was a financial penalty.
