Large cabin fleets don't do near as much OT as years past. I'm in one, and it doesn't matter if you're old or young. Again, no guarantees. Yea, one can pick up extended days, but I will not rely on that soft money for my budget. To do so is foolish at best. VAWDs can go away in a heart beat. OT is hit and miss. Even holiday pay can be elusive, depending on one's schedule. So no guarantees, no vote. The extras are icing on the cake if you so choose. Some of us prefer our families to working most of the month.

Oh, and company says they are postured to absorb downturns, unlike years past. Who absorbs the most loss if/when the economy tanks? With all the soft money, the pilots will be the largest single group to take the biggest hit when all that soft money dries up. Nice plan.
