Looking at some of the numbers, it seems that legacy pilots work a bit harder than ULCC/LCC pilots. I know it has to do with pairing construction and such. I wonder the same thing, but legacies have a different operational philosophy than ULCC/LCCs.
To clarify, the hourly rate is lacking, but doesn’t paint the whole picture. The W2s tell a different story. We’re not thaaat far behind. Still, work needs to be done for sure.
