They could make more if they had an industry standard contract, yet some bend over backwards to RSA/VDA/etc to make up the difference. They'd be the same ones to extend for pay. It's quite odd.

First time I was asked to accept an extension like that 16 plus, Considering I was on reserve/ sleeping for half of it , and not actively on duty for all 18 hours etc, I felt no need to turn it down. Some guys will turn it down just for spite .

I was referring to the guy who implied that the UAL pilots who accept an extension for 5 extra hours pay were potentially unsafe by allowing money to motivate their fatigue level.

Jumpseating issue
How many of you have taken a cabin jumpseat to get another airlines pilot on board for a flight home? I ask because at least two Delta pilots, who saw me in full uniform, refused to take a cabin jumpseat to allow me on board, bumping me from the flight home today. Personally, I have always given up my seat and taken a cabin jumpseat to get another pilot on board (you know, never leave a pilot behind). I won't anymore. What has been your experience lately?

I have dont the same for countless of Delta guys out of JFK to Florida , and they all appreciate it .
Additionally when a Delta guy doesn't take it for me obvi ****es me off. However it's fair to say the guy you took the Jumpseat would always take the jump seat for you ,
Don't let those two other douch bags ruin it for the other guys.
