to add to what N1kawotg said, it gets much better when you start flying because you can drop your first year trips for some second year ones...what a nice pay raise

Chest, You either obviously have no idea what you're talking about or you have no motivation to make almost twice the pay for the work you do.

Gup

And dishonest.

The system is designed that way, intentionally. It is not dishonest in the least.

No, this was designed to reward first year pilots for flying extra. Fly extra, you get more pay. To give away one's flying simply to pick up the same value/day for second year pay, I have to say is "working the system" in a way that does not seem very forthright and honest.
