What you apparently don't get is that jumping into the largest aircraft you can as quickly as possible regarless of pay is elimenating jobs at mainline. Every time more 70 and 90 seat aircraft are outsourced to regionals because of people willing to fly them at any cost is removing the very job opportunities you probably started a professional pilot career for yourself.

You're right I can save my bacon. Done it several times in the past 20 years flying both military and civilian. Just curious how many of your thousands of hours of jet time you have actually been the final authority and exercised that privelage.
