Or or or, live in base sit reserve in your own house in sweatpants work 35 hours on average (I’m at 11 for the month) get paid 75 with min 14 days off and the ability to swap drop reserve days online and or assign yourself an easy 3 day trip going south in the winter with one / two legs a day if you can tell there are a lot of trips in OT and they will probably assign you something ..
Listen if you are happy I’m happy for you. But don’t try and paint a picture that for most is simply not true. Delta like most airlines pays about 80 hours for an avg line with 15 days off. That’s a normal line. Nothing special. And even my regional was like that.
I rather sit home do literally nothing though and get paid 75 hours and work the occasional turn when bored of Netflix.
