More importantly, it's sad to hear you say you'd do this JOB for free since you enjoy flying that much. This attitude is what managment uses to Nickle and Dime us to no end because they know it's a passion we all share. They might say we're professionals, but I sure as h*ell don't feel like it when I see my paychecks
They don't pay us enough to understand how the systems work on that level. Don't matter if we're carrying 10 or 300 people. Start paying us more and maybe we can learn the systems in depth.

This is where I think you are being unprofessional. If you agree to do the job, do it to the best of your ability. If you don’t think they are paying you what you are worth, don’t take the job.
As for flying for free... If I had all the money in the world, I’d still enjoy flying airplanes. The JOB part is flying where I’m told, when I’m told, being responsible for other people’s lives, being away from my kids, missing birthdays, etc. If the job description was “Whenever you feel like it, go grab a jet and putz around for a few hours with no responsibilities” then yes I’d probably do that for free.
