Agreed - it is very poor form to rub someone's nose in the money you make. I could care less how much that CA's I fly with make as I'm sure they could care less how much or little I make! I was in the JS and an AA Captain kept showing me pictures of his farm, his car, his bed on steel rails that rolls out onto the sleeping porch...blah blah blah. Yes, oooh you are so rich, gosh I'm really impressed let me tell you!
Now as for the METHODS of making more and not working more - I'm all ears. I would love to know some of those techniques. The only time I hit the money jackpot was once when I bid OT (before the furloughs), had it awarded and was ineligible to fly it. I was so new I didn't even know what I was doing except trying to get some flight time.
