What is wrong with wanting to do more of what you love. With the added bonus for a pilot of quicker logging more of the hours vital for promotion to captain. Good on you Tom4. Was once in a similar position but got slated by coworkers stating that I was driving up the pressure on others that had a life outside work, and it was not fair to older employees that couldn't keep up. Left shortly after. In the next company I quietly had a word with management and they scheduled me for some extra.
