Worst. The pilot who actually wants to work for less because it's "good for the company."
Which one are you?
This seems like something flyprdu would write, who conveniently hasn’t posted since Nov 2022. But reluctant Eskimo comes out of nowhere in April. Weird. Did you just finally discover APC after all these years?
In any case. Assuming you weren’t trolling, to answer your question, ALL the stories you hear of Delta guys making absolute bank are guys who are milking the system and taking advantage of every nugget. But when AS pilots write doing similar, it’s met with disdain. I’m “Good” = taking advantage of everything possible in the current contract to maximize the time at home while maximizing pay at work.
