Reality reminder - Reserve guys don't need to be on the SA list to get plenty of calls. Just answering the phone a couple of times will almost guarantee at least a couple calls per week and who's really going to blame a first-year FO for answering on occasion, even now?

Dont like $38 an hour, stop helping the company for 200% at $76 an hour when that should still be a little less than your starting pay as a 1st year FO.
At $38 an hour, you have to be better off dropping flying and finding a side gig doing anything else. I know I did...was not worth flying for that pay.
Not a dig, but first year pay is a reason to have your drinks, coffee and an occasional meal paid for by your CAs (something that doesnt happen enough here)....it isnt a reason to not tip a van driver (something I see too much) or work overly hard for an unappreciative company.

It's called having a nice gesture with a fellow pilot, I was not expecting a free meal or a free beer from all the captains that I flew with, but a few guys offered to pick up the tab. A big thank you to those guys.

It's a wonder some of you don't get a call for interviews. I work with idiots...
Fly the contract, don't bend it
Tip your van driver, I honestly can't believe I'm typing this! The going rate is a dollar per bag btw.
If you are a captain and buying coffee with the fo, pay for his!!! If you are going to make a coffee run, at least by the lead coffee!
I just don't see the delta folks having these same conversation on their side of the board...
