Truer words have never been spoken!
My buddy is about to make more than me (Heavy FO), barely getting used, eating first class meals, and visiting fancy places on the company’s dime. He does NOT have to sit by a computer 24/7 or get annoying alerts while at the dinner table having family time. He doesn’t worry about not being able to grab a meal because the hotel restaurant is going to be closed.
This BS about having to sit by a computer to make what others make flying their regular schedule is absurd. We’ve (somewhat) normalized this type of behavior and the company expects it now. This is part of the reason why they’re fighting so hard on this hill.
