I think the gap is often wider here. I don't mean the top 10% vs the bottom 10%. I'm talking about 50-70% vs 75-90%.
Mid level seniority will get you double DHs, 6-8 hr duties, and/or 2 departure lines. Juniority brings you 10-12 hr duties, 4+ departure lines and/or up to 5 fewer days off a month for the same pay.
Do I need to mention the 30-45 hr carryover lines? A third of our pilots earn 30-50% more than the other two thirds.
