I agree completely that first year FOs are in a much different position but I could certainly benefit from 100 hours a month as much as anyone, instead I'll do my part and sleep well at night saying I tried.
Also I have to pay for day care regardless of whether I work or not. I wish it was only pay for what you use but that's a rant for another day.
