And second year rj pay as a captain is less than second year fo pay here at most places... our contract is laden with loopholes and terrible language, but there's also some decent stuff... if I get the right line next month, I could turn 7 days of vacation into 40 days off in a row... and guys with 4 weeks of vacation here can basically take 4 months of the year off... our pay sucks, but getting paid to do nothing for 1/3 of the year is alright in my book
