It's not just about hourly pay. What is your vacation and sick accrual? What percentage of health insurance premiums do you pay? Do they have cost escalation restrictions for year-over-year insurance increases? Do you get paid block or better? What matching funds does your employer provide and is it at 100% or something less? Do you have a defined contribution plan? Does your employer provide an occupational injury bank? Do they provide premium sharing for LTD policy that pays until you are 65?
And if you want to include QOL items, do you have a contractual no fault sick, fatigue, and commuter policy? Do they have a contractual train to proficiency policy that includes an impartial training review board? Do they have a neutral third party arbitration clause to handle disputes? Are they able to reassign you via ACARS? Are you required to check-in? Are you required to sit reserve if a flight gets cancelled? Is airport standby more than 4 hours? Can they assign you back to back airport standby days? Is there a limit on airport standby assignment per month? Can they assign you airport standby on the last day of reserve? Are there any automatic release rules for reserve?
Those are just a few items I can think of off the top of my head.

So I'm sitting at the top of the 5 day reserve bucket with call first and a bunch below me have pairings assigned already (start on Sunday). A bunch in the 4 day and 3 day buckets also have pairings assigned which I get because they get first dibs on 4 and 3 day trips. Do IOE and OOE guys trump guys at the top of the bucket?
Very frustrating.

I wouldn't call sitting in (and paying for) HoJo in DTW "time off".
