You’re right, we are getting “optimized” instead. Thank the 82% for all the productivity Concessions we gave

Thank the guys flying an insane amount voluntarily. Spoke with a senior 88 FO the other day. Was crediting 160 with 5 days off, and he said that’s a normal month for him. Didn’t wanna go left seat yet because he'd have to fly 90 something hours to equal his pay and didn’t think was was senior enough to get green slips. What’s the point of all that money when you’re averaging 5-8 days off?!?!

So many opinions exist in a vacuum without considering the law of unintended consequences.

Big diff in saying it's normal.....and....it's normal for him. If he wants to do that voluntarily, why should I (or you) try to judge him? Maybe he's gonna employ the "Gunfighter" school of wealth management and wants to build a seed egg(seed or egg?....dunna know...kinda a mixed metaphor,no?).....
or maybe he wants to work for 15 years and call it quits because he has made as much as he would have in 30
Or maybe he has a sick child/mother/sibling
or maybe he gives it away to charity
or maybe he spends it on hookers and blow
I don't care what he does nor how he runs his life.....why do you?
