What do you mean you know your schedule at the beginning of the month prior?

You can trade trips via the computer without crew scheduling?

you get trips that touch your vacation paid and dropped?

You get per diem on day trips?

You get halfway decent overnight hotels?

What do you mean you get 6.5% 401K matching for the first 5 yrs?

and yet they are all excited for all this new flying while they are bending over backwards, juggling to make half the money of their competitors pilots.
