In my observations, there are 3 types of pilots here who are willing to work for less.

Bad. The pilot who cannot recognize weak contract language or doesn't do due diligence to assure that the contract will perform as intended.

Worse. The pilot who doesn't care about industry parity as long as he is a top dog among Alaska Airlines pilots. As long as he is crushing it against his company peers, then he'd prefer to not be aware of other airlines outperforming him.

Worst. The pilot who actually wants to work for less because it's "good for the company."

Which one are you?
