I stand by what I said. If you want the best combo of money and QOL you have to be senior. And by senior I mean top 5% or so. Pretty much any category will do. The really senior guys on the 88 drop their trips, then put in white slips to pick up easy two day trips. One leg out, one leg back in the morning, 10:30 of pay. So yeah they may have worked two days on paper, but they didn't sign in til 1800 day one and were home before noon the next day. Add in the occasional greenslip and they are making great money and have a great QOL.
I would call being in the top 5% very senior. What percentage of pilot group can be in top 5% for any significant amount of time throughout their career? What can the other 95% expect to get ? ALV plus maybe an occasional green slip ?
