I’m not going to refuse your return gesture, though I will put up a tacit defense at least once. 😉. Just like my kids occasionally wanting to pick up dinner. I appreciate they are trying to demonstrate their ability to ‘adult’. But it’s not equal. I won’t allow a 50/50 split over time when my ability to pay is so much greater. But I fully agree it would be rude for them not to be allowed to sometimes. Maybe that will change someday, when I’m old and they are changing my diaper… 😂

at the bar in hover hotel it’s an equal relationship. I understand your over all point tho.

Before you know it, FOs will be expecting captains to do walk arounds and buy them dinner.😂

I’m still trying to figure out if FO’s really pull down $300k here normally? Seems like an exaggeration, definitely believe there are WB FO’s that can do that easy but are the majority of 3-5 year NB FO’s really doing that? Feel like I never made that as an FO.

It's no stretch of the imagination for one to make $300k in flight pay if they click some buttons in iCrew and fly some premium. That's not even thinking about profit sharing.

Now if you're got family or wife that fills your days off with activities.. it's gonna be a lot harder.
