and, awax, if your post was attempted sarcasm - it's even worse. then it's just another post whining about being junior - and vacations and schedules and reserve. (and training, really? a couple days a year at a difference of an hour or two a day? you sit around your pad whining about a couple hundred bucks? what a joyless life you must lead)
about your main "sarcastic" whines though. yes. when a pilot is junior (in seat/equip/base) that pilot will be on reserve and need to be available to cover trips, or will have crappy schedules, and maybe get crappy vacation allotments. that's how seniority systems work.
so i guess you can just whine away until another thou or so retire, then you can join the middle seniority ranks and relax ...
