Maybe you should have taken the position where you are put in the left seat and bidding #1 at full pay from day one. It doesn’t exist so move on if you don’t like where your at now.
Complaining about your job and fellow crew members won’t make it a better place to work. Learn better ways to live while sitting reserve. Do something during the day. Having my uniform and suitcase with me only limits me to being within a 2 hr radius of the airport.
You are right. It actually has been good for me. Then again I only have a couple of days left so it doesnt really bother me if everyone is picking up open time or telling their friends this place is great. I hope it works out for everyone. It just sucks for the people that cant escape soaper. Good luck abx!
