I sure would like narrators voice to be "B#^*hing Betty".

Having posted above, I'm not about to slam subject video to be "FOS".
I won't, because I don't have anything better up my sleeve, nor have I seen any real comprehensive study that has better info, or is better packaged.

Does anybody remember the AIR, Inc. Airline Salary Surveys from ~ 15 to 20 years ago ? I thought that it was the best study that I'd ever seen, but even then recognized that it was flawed to a certain extent. Then 911 and bankruptcy gutting of many contracts blew the assumed career values to smithereens. Then I recall rationalizing "hey, I'll cherry pick some OPF trips, and move my career value up a few notches."

Then the anecdotal posts that I see here on APC are just as suspect. Things like FO's on same equipment making more than Captains. A moderate seniority SW FO scores a trifecta of more time off, better QOL, and (I vaguely recall) a 15% or more bump in TFP. I don't doubt those things happened, but what percentage of any pilot group will be in a position to consistently score those kinds of deals throughout the entirety of a 20 to 30 year career ? Then, how many people are like the UPS pilot who pretty much flies their awarded line and makes pretty much in the ballpark of ALV ? Any study take those nuance differences into consideration ?
