Well, we ain't there no more. Why should the total compensation for the F/O with 4 kids exceed that of the Capt he's flying with? Everyone has a great idea on how this thing could be approved but when it comes to children there is no entitlement here. Just don't bid the d**m thing. Nobody owes you anything. You could've held ANC, but Mary was in ballet, Johnny has soccer and the wife is working on her degree in Animal Husbandry (sorry, I couldn't help myself).
B***h all you want about this LOA but don't think that you deserve more because you're married with children. (BTW, once Cosnuts gets his Jarhead a** squared away, I'm thinking his HKG place will be primo for a relaxing cocktail).
