The good news is, by the time we strike I will be on 4th year pay. And my budgeting is fine. But as a first year FO at Spirit, I am the lowest paid 121 pilot in the U.S. EVERY other 121 gig pays more first year. I could leave Spirit and go to Silver Wings or Great Lakes and make more than I do now.

You'd be surprised how many captains want to shutdown #2 before APU start. When informed, they say "oh we've always done it this way". So, there's at least just as many FOs that aren't following the manuals.
Good for you, put someone down for following safe procedures, awesome, shows us what a professional you are.

Another good distract is to "forget" to hack the clock after deselecting reverse thrust, and simultaneously hack the clock, verbalize "damn I forgot to hack the clock again", while reaching up real smoothly to turn on the APU. Works every time apparently.
Not that I've tried any of this or anything or would dream of pushing a button the CA told me not to push (of course, duh), but I've heard good things. All good things.
