Remember, there’s a contingent that will complain no matter what. For whatever reasons, it tends to be the senior people that have the best doing the most whining. Go figure.

You missed the part where I said I started with 35 hours. That makes me NOT a senior pilot, by definition.
I just hustled a lot this month.

Funny thing is how no one ever considers the pay they get for work they haven't done. Fly 17 hours get paid 35, fly 40 get paid 69, etc. Stay home and get fat on nachos, get paid 50 SRL or 73 hours on reserve lol.

RIGHT?!

Nobody really “works for free”. You might make some choices that end up having you (God forbid) WORK for the pay you receive.

Having said that....I’m a big fan of work rules that keep us protected, and soft time is tha shizz......but let’s not act like somebody who picked up is somehow being wronged by the recipients of CARES money. We should ALL be hoping for this nightmare to end, and have to start working again.

Pilots, in general, are way too focused on what somebody else is getting instead of what’s right in front of them. Two dogs with a full bowl of food in front of them, eating voraciously, staring the whole time at the other bowl wondering why it MIGHT have a few more pieces of kibble in it.....GMAFB

You're keeping it 100, as the kids say. You're not "working for free". You're just actually earning your pay, rather than getting paid for not working. I have no problem working for my money. Especially, if it means that I make over 73 hours of pay.

All those Pakistani gender studies majors must have severe PTSD by now. But no, I appreciate the effort it took 500+ blow hard worthless d-bags spending months on how to decide to give a whopping $600 back to the American tax payer their own money, all while not missing a penny of their own pay. GMAFB.

The legislation is absolutely a pork and BS sandwich. In its original form only 27% of the $900 billion went back to America. Are you even aware of what a POS this thing is?

We the American should be loading up pitch forks and torches and taking over the Congress. These people are out of control.
