Bingo. Total compensation, days off, etc. doesn't mean jack squat if you gotta spend your entire life trying to game the system to get there! We should be seeking to maximize base compensation first and foremost (on the $$ front, that is). Period. That's the only thing that benefits all NK pilots equally. Maximize the base salary/benefits, then get the best QOL possible to go along with it. Above that, if you choose to trade QOL for $$ by taking JMs, working days off, bidding conflicts, etc, more power to ya. But if you choose to have best QOL possible and still make the best $$ possible, you need to maximize base compensation.

Essentially, we should be striving to make as much money possible for minimum possible work. Everything after that is personal preference--QOL vs $$.
