All I could do is laugh at a junior check airman I saw doing OE on a 777 getting paid 15 hours for a LOOONNGG 3 day trip, at a320/b737 pay rates, while the pilot he was training was getting paid much more in pay rate and hours.
Every one of them should turn in their letters of resignation. But they don't, because too many of them just enjoy being a super awesome check airman. Jokes on them now, they won't have a new contract for years to come.
Actually...
For years and years the complaint was average day. CKA get a 5:26 MINIMUM DAY, or the value of the trip, whichever is greater.
I scratched my head when the CKA chair put that out and the DFW reps parroted it.
