Good gawd, I’m scared to have your “kind” voting on the next TA.

Not that I consider needing to work more days per month to bring my income up to a peer at Delta, for example, a benefit but apparently, bewilderingly, some people do. It seems like one of the appeals of being an airline pilot has always been the general idea of working fewer days for a relatively high income instead of having to work more days to produce a higher income.
