All because there egos won’t let them say…..yup, I should have just flowed. I’d be a 777 DFW RSV FO right now making $400K working 6 days a month, but instead I’ll soon be commuting to FLL, gone 20 days a month, to sit 18 days of Short Call Reserve for $275K.
Yeah… using the exceptions as the rule is disingenuous. Everyone has talked to a SWA CA who said “ I made $950k last year and had 28 days off per month. Pilots like to embellish and it seems you’re doing the same thing.
