Some picked up extra. They bragged to me about it on more than one occasion, one time just after I had just consoled a really junior FO, worried about being first out the door with low TT, low turbine time, and no hope of either because they hadn’t flown all month.
It’s everyone’s right to use the contract to their benefit. That’s just how it is and I don’t contest that. Seniority is earned, and comes with privilege. Period. The end.
There isn’t enough to go around right now and it will affect some, regardless of what anyone does. It’s just gross when someone rubs it in your face and brags about all of the money they’re making. With reduced flying, if you’re taking more than you need, who are you really screwing?
