You don't gotta worry about it, I know you didn't do it, I knew you where just talking about someone with that mentality, but the fact still remains the same..  people who pay to build flight time that requires a major increase in responsibilities is a fool and shouldn't be flying.  I don't buy the "someone's gotta do it" thought process either.  If no one did it, they would have to PAY someone to do it.  That's their business model, they don't make much money off of passengers, they make most of it from the f/o's who have to pay them.  Those guys are the cockroaches of the industry..  my above reply though wasn't directed at you, just at people who would do what you mentioned.

Tax ... :hrmm:

I take home $60K +, but must admit thats because company pays taxes. Add that living out here is really cheap, I am a happy boy
Even here in the US, if you can't live with 60k take home then there's something you're not doing right.
