Think about this for a minute, Anita. For the month of March, I was away from base (home) for 301 hours, and got paid for 73:58. Sweet deal, right? Us pilots are sooooooo spoiled!!
If you feel you're overworked and underpaid, get another job. I personally like flying and would happily move up another number on the seniority list. Furthermore our hourly pay rates have been adjusted because of the way our pay is calculated. Finally, if you don't like being on the road, perhaps professional aviation isn't for you. I can totally sympathize with your frustrations, but honestly guys, our pay structure and lifestyle has been the same for a long time so applying to the airlines and then being frustrated by the reality simply means you didn't do your research.
