Not to be an advocate for the US airlines, but those 777 fo's or skippers are flying 2-3 trips per month, flying about 70-75 hours, and getting 18-20 days off. No offense, but I would gladly trade the pay (comparing 777/330 job to 777/330 job) to have my quality of life back. Both places have pros and cons, but I would say we work way harder than even your md-80 or 737 guys at a US major, so although we make more money, we deffinitely earn it. Just my 2 cents, and given that I my government has thrown the dollar square it the sh..house, those 2 cents are worth that much anymore
