I look at the replies on these year-end threads about salary survey and think what a shame it is that some of these pilots, with such high incomes, are just trying to figure out how to skimp on layovers where they spend almost half of their lives. That’s sad.

Enjoy your layovers. Travel well. Eat well. Experience things. Splurge. Treat your crew. You’ll appreciate going to work a lot more than the cheapskate pilots.
