You want to see lazy? Get in a Dash 8 and fly 6-7 legs a day in 95 degree weather. Then come back and tell me who's lazy?

Our pay checks come from AA profits, we share the same profits, and now are paid like professional pilots. The only difference is the size of our jets. As for laziness yeah it's nice not filling out a logbook. Just like the day everyone hits mainline the logbook usually goes on a shelf to collect dust for 30 years...

Bingo.
"Oh, looks like you've been to BFE many times in your logbook. How interesting. Almost as interesting as the last dozen regional pilot logbooks I've seen today."
That being said, not keeping a logbook is akin to placing all your eggs in the flow basket; something I would warn anyone who's not a few months from flow, against doing.
It's a great Plan A/B depending on what you want your career airline to be, but be ready to apply through the front door elsewhere if the poo hits the fan at your potential flow airline.
