I can understand junior F/O's not wasting their time with OT, but senior captains can pick up an extra day of work per month (many have 15-18) and make $850 or more. That's a monthly mortgage payment (P & I).
Actually, the pilots that are truly agressive with OT are fairly junior captains who rarely touched OT when F/O's but now see the OT issue completely differently...........especially when they've recently bought a new house because of their recent upgrade and substantial pay raise.
I see this all the time...........it's just the way it is.
