No, not that I'm aware of. Granted paid was low, but NJA always paid extra for standards, training, IOE, etc..
It was more of a "helping the company" issue. If captains don't volunteer to do that, we'd start missing our training cycles, captain line checks, maybe even loose currency, etc. therefore we can't fly...Pilots were willing to try anything at that point.
I'm not saying I agreed or disagreed with every single point back then, i"m just explaining what i saw during my first 6 months with the company
Like I said 2005 $ucked
