If you compare that 7.20 to what you’ll make over a 4 day at your pay rate, it’s really peanuts.
I hear you on it's a small amount, but by using your math, and assuming four 4 days a month, it comes up to about $350 a year. Yes, a 2nd year FO can make that on a MCO to ORD leg, but that's not the point. Were leaving a new set of Bose headphones, or a new suitcase for work on the table.
I'm sure someone will respond with negotiating capital or whatever. It done and over with so this is what we work with.
