Because despite my very limited PWA knowledge and only having flown a single 1day greenslip all year, I'll gross over 400k this year.
I usually hold a line and get what I want (I only ask for no early morning reports). I can swap most crappy trips and I'm fine flying my line making more than I did as an FO always chasing the ARCOS dragon. Just because I could get Gucci greenslips does it mean I want to pause life at home to go fly them.
I hardly ever need specific weekends off so the other pros of being a junior A outweigh the cons....FOR ME. (If that doesn't work for you, no problem to each their own).
*Yes, I do like to complain sometimes. That's sport b;tching amongst pilots. On the grand scheme of things I'm very happy to sit where I'm sitting now. Perspective and all that
