That'd be my answer. Does she really think that the tens of thousands of major airline pilots flying the skies today all volunteer on their days off? For realz?
Only the Regional pilot slave needs to volunteer. We practically "volunteer" at our regional airline anyway, whats another couple days per month of volunteer time? Once youre at your career airline, you dont need to volunteer anymore!
