But I haven't ran into anyone else doing the same. Everyone I know and everyone I fly with, to a person, talk about how they're maximizing their pay and what their pay is or some such.
It’s because pilots like to show off how much money we can make, or how do we play the system.

Thats why I took the upgrade. I can work 40hrs and pay my bills. I can work 65hrs and save money. Or I can work 75+ hrs and get money for other projects while still enjoying 15-17days off.

Thats without overtime and without working the system. QOL all the way!
