Purpose of a career is to maximize income and earnings with less effort. Enjoy your time off with family & more money in your pocket. Believe me, the flying and PIC time will come if you think that matters or will matter in the months and years to come. So many have the competitive PIC and background not getting called.

PDT guys would love to trade places with you. They are getting abused with tons of flying and crazy schedules & not even the pay or recent LOA benefits that we have. Guys there are waiting a long time for CA training.

My perspective is to enjoy the CA pay and time off as the company figures out it’s training inefficiencies as Winter Is Coming. At least your getting CA pay, as many others before you did not. I agree with your perspective on the training backlog, delay, and so much wasting of money and inefficiencies on type training. It’s laughable.
