It is what it is. No problem. I just think it is very wrong to pay an F/O in a little jet with no responsibility MORE than a captain, in the same size plane, who has far greater responsibility.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is how it works pretty much everywhere... FO's of larger/more complex airplanes can make more than captains of smaller ones. It's the same way even at the airlines.
