AND, the whole point of getting a good TA is so that you don't have to worry about working so hard to be able to make a living.
You fly a 747 around the world under sometimes dangerous conditions. The least Connie can do is adequately compensate you, so that you don't have to work like a dog to support your family.
You are a professional pilot doing a dangerous job. You need to be compensated like one.
We are very much on the same page regarding wages and benefits. You are very uninformed and obviously inexperienced regarding military trips. Under your 20 hour duty day senecio, I would end up staying the night and perhaps waiting days for the next flight to come through in such garden spots as Baghram. Not good for my wallet.
BOTTOM LINE. LET ME VOTE ON MY T.A.
