Here is another look into the crystal ball straight from somebody calling the shots.
Management companies know there is a pilot shortage coming and the airlines are gonna take from them.
"Management" cannot and should not admit it generally speaking because then the pilots "will know" they are in the drivers seat. Not that they don't already but when and if management lets it out that there is a problem that's when pilots turn from whiners about stuff to demanding. Big difference.
They also know that crewing aircraft deeper only makes the problem worse. There are "X" number of business aircraft operating and "Y" number of pilots. The "Y" number is getting smaller for several reasons. The "X" number will grow with the economy. That in and of itself is a problem. Add to it the fact they have to start giving people a life and crewing the X's with more Y's and well you see the problem. There ain't enough Y's.
They know it but will not and should not admit it. So guys look for management to attempt to squeeze more out of you in the name of "helping" out as things get worse. The last thing they want to do is crew planes deeper. They would much rather throw a few dollars at you.
If you really want to fix the problem demand they hire more pilots for time off. The pay will follow and soon you will be making what the airline guys make with a life to boot. If you take the money you just drag it out longer.
