I doubt I’m leaving money on the table given that I use the rest of the contract a lot more than the premium section. You’re assuming unfamiliarity with the whole thing. I know. Internets and ******.

If an FO has a question I can answer or point out something they’re missing then I do. Or we look it up together. Case in point, I had a reserve FO who wouldn’t believe that he could only be scheduled for 14 hours max without agreeing to an extension. Ok, we’ll look it up and move on.

But we don’t spend a lot of time debating contracts on my flightdeck. Most are regaling me with their looming interviews or class dates, and the ones who intend to stay tend to have more entertaining things to talk about.
