If you're not happy with it you can always quit.
that is the wrong attitude to have. These companies make billions, the ceo's make 10's of millions if not more and they nickel and dime the pilots...
these contracts come with a lot of bloodshed and if management is going to hold you to it then you have to hold them to it as well.
there are many of here that are trying to salvage a broken 121 career and every minute and dime counts. Some of us including myself left a cush 150k plus job a year (for many reasons) and maxing out pay and benifits is job #1.
And if you average out the over 100k a year plus the first year pay you do not have much. If I am lucky and fly my ass off I will make 120 next year. Plus the 33 from this year is roughly 75k per year over 2 years. That is a 150k loss from where I was and 75k a year for a widebody pilot is weak weak weak. I did sign up for this course and will put up with it ( for many reasons) but if something is owed to me I am going to grab it. Why let the fat cats who run the show have it?
