We have 23yr old captains, whats your point?. Actually, quite a few were just hired by JetBlue. My .02 is this.... When an FO here (9L) is making 48hr and it takes a C5 captain 9yrs to equal our FO payrate thats obsurd.

The pay scale isn't the only thing to take into account. Whats your contract look like, work rules, min guarantee, soft pay, ability to bid into other equipment/bases? All of these things should play a role into how you choose. Eagle is hiring, ExJet, 9E, XJ, 9L, SKW and others. is there room for growth at the carrier you want to work for? Are they parking planes or adding them?

I chased the fast upgrade and found out the hard way. I'm just trying to shed some light on a young aviators career choice. Either way, good luck.
