Not a comment on pay, but I agree with Jaww 100% on the moving goalposts comment. Either 3 takeoffs & landings every 90 days are the
minimum to be able to safely carry passengers or they’re not. This pandemic hasn’t given pilots super-proficient flying powers. I can’t believe the FAA bought off on this extension. The airlines are not at war and this isn’t a mission that must happen at any cost. I’d be shocked if Flight Operations doesn’t already have their request to get this extension changed permanently. Why not? If it’s safe to do it with passengers now, surely it’s safe all the time. Safety first, FAA & Airlines for America, right? I’d have liked to see ALPA coming out totally against this extension, but I never heard a peep. Perhaps I missed their Call to Action on that one. Now we deal with possible extension pushing.
