Too much, apparently. I just flew with a guy that spent the night in SFO ops. Since the extension LOA rates weren't enough apparently, maybe the snap up $ will finally be enough for CAs to afford the Red Roof...

I definitely resemble that remark!!

Delaying distance learning for an extra 4.54% isn't being a cheap pilot; it's just not being a dumbass. Would you step over a Jackson on the sidewalk so that you weren't perceived as being a cheap pilot?

Yes I have....hate to admit it. Those 6 day Guams are hard to pack for if you carry the old bag!

But I do carry the new one quite a bit, the handle sticks....must be that cheap pilot mentality.
